Christmas Market at Nottingham Castle

Join us for two magical days of festive fun at Nottingham's Christmas Market!

This year, we're making it bigger and better than ever before, with more stalls, more entertainment, and plenty of activities for the whole family. Best of all, it's set against the stunning backdrop of Nottingham Castle, creating a truly special experience.

What to expect:

• More stalls than before: From unique, handcrafted gifts to delicious seasonal treats, our expanded market will have something for everyone. Perfect for finding that special Christmas gift or enjoying a festive bite.
• Free family entertainment: Keep the little ones entertained with a range of free activities throughout the event. With interactive performances and fun games, there's something for all ages.
• Live entertainment: Indulge in some mouth-watering food while enjoying live music and festive family-friendly entertainment.

🎟 Entry to the market is just £1 per person* and that includes access to the Castle too!

Tickets go on sale from Monday, 4 November 2024 at nottinghamcastle.org.uk/christmas so be sure to grab yours early!

*Please note: £1 tickets are available for pre-bookings only. The entry fee is the same for everyone (including children and Nottingham Castle annual pass holders), and there are no concessions.

A quick reminder - ticket holders will need to arrive during their chosen time slot, but feel free to stay and enjoy the event until closing. Just keep in mind that if you arrive outside of your time slot, we can't guarantee entry due to capacity limits at the Castle.

No ticket? No problem! A limited number of walk-up tickets will be available at the door, but this is subject to availability and you might have to wait, especially during busier times. Please note, though, that on-the-day entry will be charged at the regular general admission rate.

Last admission will be 5pm on Saturday 30 November and 3pm on Sunday 1 December 2024.

Please be aware that the museum closes at 6pm on Saturdays and 4pm on Sundays.

The Christmas Market is brought to you by It's in Nottingham in partnership with Nottingham Castle and Nottingham City Council.
