A two-day Christmas food, drink and craft fair on the Sledmere House estate in the Yorkshire Wolds.

Sledmere House, the Georgian country house in the Yorkshire Wolds between Malton and Driffield, holds a two-day Christmas fair in late November, unusually on a Wednesday and Thursday. Food, drink and craft stalls bring local producers and makers together, selling seasonal food, gifts and decorations, and there is a fair barn café among several places to eat.

A ticket also covers parking and the parkland and walled garden, and there are Christmas shops, a farm shop and an adventure playground on the estate. Part of every ticket price goes to the Yorkshire Air Ambulance and The Millie Wright Children's Charity.

Entry to the fair is in timed slots through the day (9.30am, 11am, 12.30pm and 2pm in 2026), with tickets also sold on the door. Dogs are welcome in the grounds but not inside the fair.
