Inside Peterborough Cathedral, Minster Precincts, Peterborough, Cambridgeshire · East of England
A three-day fundraising craft and gift market held under the Norman arches of Peterborough Cathedral, with around 140 stalls in 2026.
Peterborough Cathedral turns its Norman nave and aisles into a Christmas market for one weekend each November. Independent makers, artists and food producers sell handmade and homemade gifts, from knitwear, ceramics and woodwork to chutneys, fudge and decorations, with festive music and lights inside the cathedral. Peterborough City Council says the 2026 market is the cathedral's biggest yet, with 140 stalls.
The market is a fundraiser for the cathedral, and ticket money goes towards the building's upkeep, its music and its education and community work. Entry is by ticket, and the cathedral's site lists the stallholders in advance.
The 2026 market falls on the same weekend as Peterborough's Christmas lights switch-on in Cathedral Square (Friday 20 November), and the cathedral's Christmas Tree Festival opens a few days later.
