The magic of Christmas is coming to St. Anne’s on the Sea as we unveil our plans for this year’s festive Christmas Market. We hope to bring together talented artisan makers, local businesses and food producers. Set against the backdrop of our charming seaside town, the market, with traditional festive chalets, aims to showcase the very best of regional talent while providing visitors with an opportunity to shop small and support independent businesses during the festive season. We are hoping to attract thousands of visitors seeking a traditional Christmas shopping experience while enjoying everything the town has to offer. The town will be lit with Christmas lights and festive photo opportunities to add to the atmosphere. This really is an event to create memories and be enjoyed by all the family.
The market launches at the Christmas Lights Switch-On event on Saturday 28th November 2026 and continues across three weekends leading up to Christmas.
Set in the new Event Space in the centre of St. Anne’s, the Christmas Market will feature 15 festive chalets, showcasing a variety of artisans, makers and independent businesses. With something new to see each week, there is no doubt that you will find that special something for that someone special.
