Seven Sisters Christmas Market
Saturday 5 – Sunday 6 December 2026 Opens in 22 days

The historic barns, Seven Sisters Visitor Centre, Seven Sisters Country Park, Seaford, East Sussex · South East England
A free weekend market of more than 40 local artists and makers in the old barns at the Seven Sisters Visitor Centre, at the foot of the South Downs.
For one weekend in early December, the historic barns at the Seven Sisters Visitor Centre fill with more than 40 local artists and makers selling handmade gifts. The country park runs it together with Saltmarsh Farmhouse next door.
Entry is free. Mince pies and mulled wine are sold at the visitor centre's Grab & Go counter, and Saltmarsh's café serves lunch. It makes an easy pairing with a winter walk down the Cuckmere valley towards the cliffs.
The car parks charge and can get busy, so the bus is worth considering: the 12, 12X and Cuckmere bus services stop outside the visitor centre.
