The Haig Park Christmas Markets

Event

Celebrate the festive season at the Haig Park Village Markets this December, with their special edition Christmas markets across three Sundays.

Visitors can enjoy free photos with Santa, carols, live jazz, drumming performances, and a range of special Christmas-themed children's activities, including letters to Santa, Christmas crafts, face painting and bubble play.

The markets will feature more than 100 stalls every Sunday offering unique gifts and festive treats, from artisan wreaths and Christmas scented candles to sustainable gift wrapping and homemade Christmas cakes. There's certain to be a little something for everyone (including your furry friends!)
