A two-day ticketed Christmas fair with local makers' stalls, music and children's activities at Delapré Abbey in Northampton.

Delapré Abbey, a historic house on London Road in Northampton, holds an annual Christmas Fair over a weekend in late November. Stalls sell handmade gifts from local makers along with a range of other carefully chosen traders.

There's food and drink, live music, children's activities, and workshops and craft sessions through the day. The last part of each day is kept as a quieter hour with a limited number of tickets.

Tickets are booked separately for each day through the abbey's booking page. Later in the season the abbey also runs Christmas house openings and a winter light trail, which are separate events.
