One of Suffolk’s most loved festive shopping events returns this November as the Suffolk County Christmas Fair comes back to Hintlesham Hall for its fourth year.
Set against the beautiful backdrop of one of Suffolk’s best-known country houses, the three-day fair has grown into a highlight of the county’s Christmas calendar, combining a huge choice of independent shopping with entertainment, food, drink and festive attractions.
At the heart of the event will be more than 150 stalls, giving visitors the opportunity to discover presents they simply won’t find during an ordinary trip to the high street. Expect handcrafted gifts, jewellery, homewares, Christmas decorations, artisan produce, seasonal treats and plenty more from independent makers, producers and businesses.
Shopping takes place within beautiful heated marquees and the grounds of Hintlesham Hall, providing a comfortable and atmospheric way to work through the Christmas list whatever the November weather brings.
There is much more to experience once the shopping bags begin to fill. Live music, Father Christmas, spectacular stilt walkers and the Ferris wheel will all return, while a tempting choice of hot food and festive drinks gives visitors plenty of opportunity to stop, relax and soak up the atmosphere.
One of the biggest advantages for visitors is the return of the event’s free shuttle bus service. Shuttles will run from Ipswich approximately every ten minutes and from Hadleigh approximately every 30 minutes, making it easy to reach Hintlesham Hall without having to drive directly to the venue.
Now entering its fourth year, the fair has established its own identity by combining the scale and choice of a major Christmas shopping event with the character and atmosphere of a beautiful Suffolk country-house setting. Whether the priority is finding unusual presents, supporting independent businesses or simply enjoying a festive day out with family and friends, there is plenty to discover.
Visitors are strongly encouraged to plan ahead. Tickets will not be available to purchase on the gate, so everyone attending will need to secure their tickets before arriving.
Advance ticket rates are available online and offer the best-value way to attend, but importantly, advance rates end the day before the show begins. Anyone planning a visit should therefore book before the event weekend rather than leaving it until the day. Adult twilight tickets are just £7, Seniors £5, whilst infants and carers go free
The Suffolk County Christmas Fair returns to Hintlesham Hall this November, bringing three days of Christmas shopping, entertainment and festive atmosphere back to the heart of Suffolk.
