Swanage, Dorset · South West England
Swanage and Purbeck Rotary's one-day open-air Christmas street market, with more than 60 stalls of Christmas gifts, crafts and food.
Swanage and Purbeck Rotary opens its festive season with a one-day Christmas street market in the town centre on a Saturday in early December. More than 60 stalls sell Christmas-themed gifts, crafts and food and drink, and there is entertainment through the day.
The market raises money for the Rotary club's charity work, and local traders get priority for pitches. For 2026 every pitch was taken, with a waiting list for stalls.
It is an open-air market in a seaside town, and the organisers warn stallholders that the site can catch strong gusts of wind, so it is worth checking the Rotary club's page shortly before you go.
