A one-day Christmas market with artisan stalls, brass bands and carols at Bolsover Castle, ending with a lantern parade through the town after dark.
On a Saturday in late November, Bolsover Castle and the town centre below it hold a day of Christmas festivities that ends with a lantern procession after dark. At the castle there are artisan craft stalls, brass bands and carol singing, and the Little Castle is decorated for the season.
In 2026 the castle is open from 10am to 8pm, with the festivities starting at midday. It closes from 4pm to 5.30pm while the parade gathers, then reopens so visitors can look round after dark.
The castle part of the day is included in normal admission. English Heritage members get in free, and Bolsover District residents can claim free tickets if they bring proof of address.
