2024 Festive & Christmas Shopping Events

It's festive market season!

I've got four events coming up this festive season, across Buckinghamshire, Northamptonshire and in Oxfordshire. 

Two of them are totally new events to me, in fantastic locations, which I'm really excited about.  And of course I'm going back to some more local ones that are always a treat to do. 

I've put more info below about when I'll be where, and links where possible to more information too.  

And if you can't get to visit in person, don't forget you can always still support events by liking/sharing social media posts and giving a follow to the other small businesses who might be taking part.  Plus, the majority of them you can shop with online too so it's still worth a peek even if you can't come to see our smiley faces! 

Saturday 2nd November

Incredible Makers Market, Kettering Arts Centre

After a great event last year I'll be back at the Kingsmere Community Centre in  early December for my most local market of the season. 

Showcasing a wide range of small businesses and designers/makers local to Bicester, there's lots to see and do for all the family at this event, as well as treating yourselves!

Saturday 16th December

Artist & Makers Fair, Thame Town Hall

Flyer for Sally Evans Events Artists and Makers Market Thame Town Hall For the final time this year I'll be packing up my stall and appearing in the beautifully quaint Grade-2 listed Thame Town Hall for what is always a lovely event organised by Sally Evans.  She curates a fantastic selection of local artists and makers and it'll be the perfect opportunity to get those final few gifts, especially when you'll be right in the middle of Thame with it's own boutiques and great cafes too! No tickets are needed, so park up, come for a shop and then you can enjoy the rest of the picturesque market town.
