BAKEWELL &
HADDON HALL CHRISTMAS MARKETS
- Sunday 16th November 2025
We will
leave the High School at 9am and head to the
picturesque market town of Bakewell where a
'Quintessential English Christmas
Market' with around 100 stalls, hosted by
traders from the town and the Peak District,
will be taking place in the town centre. You
will have time to browse around the stalls
and visit Bakewell's quaint historic
courtyards, shops, and cafes
and possibly buy one of the famous Bakewell
Puddings. There will also be street
entertainment from local bands, choirs, a
DJ, magicians etc and you can even meet
Santa!
We will then make
the short journey to Haddon Hall for the
afternoon. Over 900 years old, Haddon is one
of the country's finest examples of a
Medieval and Tudor manor house, with
wonderful gardens. Here the annual 'Mercatum
Christmas Artisan Market' will feature over
180 talented artisans and makers showcasing
a diverse range of crafts, including
ceramics, art, chocolates, jewellery,
candles, artisan stationery, perfumes, and
much more, both inside and outside the Hall
all set against a lovely festive backdrop.
There is an entry fee, the ticket includes
access to the house and grounds. We will
leave Haddon late afternoon and expect to be
back at school around 5.30-6pm.
Please be aware that for anyone with mobility issues, Haddon can be a difficult place to navigate, with lots of steps and uneven surfaces. |
