A three-day indoor Christmas market inside St Edmundsbury Cathedral, with more than 50 stallholders from Suffolk and beyond.

Each November St Edmundsbury Cathedral on Angel Hill opens its doors for an annual Christmas market, with more than 50 stallholders from Suffolk and further afield selling gifts and local products inside the cathedral.

There is entertainment each day, including carols and live music, and the cathedral has also run Christmas market tower tours alongside it. It's a smaller, indoor affair - a contrast to the large street Christmas Fayre that Bury St Edmunds used to host, which has since been replaced by other festive events in the town.

There is a small entry charge on the door, and random bag searches may take place.
