A three-day ticketed Christmas fair with 150-plus independent stalls in heated marquees and the grounds of Hintlesham Hall near Ipswich.
The Suffolk County Christmas Fair fills heated, hard-floored marquees and the grounds of Hintlesham Hall, a historic house near Ipswich, with more than 150 independent businesses selling gifts, handmade products, decorations, fashion, homeware and artisan food and drink. 2026 is its fourth year at the hall.
There's live music on the bandstand, festive performers, Father Christmas, a Ferris wheel, food trucks and bars. Friday is a late-night shopping session, and cheaper twilight tickets are available each day.
All tickets must be booked online in advance - there are no gate sales. On-site parking is limited and must be pre-booked, but free shuttle buses run from Ipswich's London Road Park & Ride and Hadleigh bus station (shuttle ticket needed). Well-behaved dogs on short leads are welcome, though not in the hall's tearoom. Carers of disabled visitors go free.
