Good to know

Giant Second Hand Book Sale

As part of this year's Christmas Market, we will be holding a fantastic book sale in Hestercombe House ~ a treasure trove of bargains! Your Christmas Market admission will get you free entry to the book sale.

Gardens admission included

All tickets include complimentary gardens admission. You will only be able to access the gardens with this ticket from the start of your allocated timeslot onwards. Tickets from 3pm onwards are charged at a lower rate due to the gardens closing at 5pm. There are limited slots available. Children under the age of 15 can enter the market for free - there is no need to book a ticket.

Dog policy

Whilst we all sincerely love four-legged friends at Hestercombe, unfortunately because it can get quite busy throughout the event, for safety reasons we cannot allow them into any part of the Christmas Market. However, they are still very welcome throughout the gardens, shop, plant centre and cafe as usual.

Exhibitors

Applications to exhibit in this year's Christmas Market are closed. To be added to our mailing list for our 2022 Christmas Market, please email us and we shall contact you in early January 2022 with further information, dates and how to apply.
