Sat 10am–6pm; Sun 10am–4pm
Mapperton House and Gardens (Coach House Café, estate and gardens), Beaminster, Dorset · South West England
A weekend Christmas market on the Mapperton estate near Beaminster, with local makers, food and drink, live music and Father Christmas.
Mapperton, a Tudor and Jacobean manor house set in gardens above a West Dorset valley, holds a Christmas market across the estate on a weekend in late November. Stalls sell handmade gifts, decorations and food and drink from local makers and producers, with live music, lights and mulled wine and roasting chestnuts.
The Coach House Café serves a seasonal menu and there are food vans as well. Father Christmas has a grotto during the market; visits must be booked in advance and need a market ticket too.
Because the market has grown, each day now has a capped capacity, so booking online is recommended; children's tickets are free but should be added to the booking. Parking on site is free, and well-behaved dogs on short leads are welcome outdoors and in the café.
