Charity Christmas Fair

Step into the festive spirit at the magical Forde Abbey and Gardens for our Charity Christmas Fair! Wander through the historic Abbey and marquee filled with local traders and their handmade treasures – from pottery and paintings to jewellery, metalwork, cosmetics, garments, and more. It’s your one-stop Christmas gift shopping event, all under cover and brimming with seasonal charm.

Enjoy the sounds of Christmas carols, warm up with a glass of mulled wine, and treat yourself to something delicious from the Abbot’s Table Café, serving light lunches, cakes, bakes, and traditional cream teas all day.
