The Stratford-upon-Avon Christmas Markets return in 2025, bringing festive cheer to the historic town centre across two magical weekends.

This year’s event, delivered by LSD Promotions in partnership with Stratford-on-Avon District Council and Stratford-upon-Avon Town Council, features over 200 stalls filled with high-quality gifts, artisan products, handcrafted decorations, festive food, and seasonal drinks.

Visitors can enjoy a reimagined market layout designed for smoother navigation and a more relaxed experience. Spread across three of the town’s main streets—Bridge Street, Waterside, and Henley Street—the market is easy to explore and full of festive spirit.

Live entertainment will be scattered throughout the site, including performances from local schools, choirs, Shakespeare’s Morris dancers, a stilt walker, and a live DJ. Roaming acts and festive music will create a joyful atmosphere for all ages to enjoy.

With twinkling lights, historic surroundings, and a wide variety of independent traders, the Stratford-upon-Avon Christmas Markets are the perfect way to kick off the festive season. Whether you're looking to shop, eat, be entertained, or simply soak up the atmosphere, this free-to-attend event is a must-visit.

Make a day of it—or better yet, turn it into a festive weekend stay in one of Stratford’s many welcoming hotels.

Visit for the shopping, stay for the magic.
