Historic service wing, Audley End House and Gardens, Saffron Walden, Essex · East of England
A three-day Christmas market in the historic service wing of English Heritage's Audley End House, with more than 40 local makers.
English Heritage holds a three-day Christmas market at Audley End, the great Jacobean mansion just outside Saffron Walden. More than 40 stallholders fill the house's historic service wing, selling locally made crafts and gifts, and local choirs and musicians perform over the weekend.
The market is included in normal admission to the house and gardens, so it is free for English Heritage members. In 2026 the Friday is a community day, when people living within 12 miles of the house get in free with proof of address. Visits to Father Christmas and guided tours can be added when booking.
