The hugely popular Ford & Etal Christmas Market is returning in 2024 and will be spread over two days; Saturday 23rd November and Sunday 24th November, from 10:00-16:00. The market has stalls in Ford, Etal and Heatherslaw, with entertainment, activities and decorations in all four hubs so you can make a merry day of it. Stalls will also be found in Ford Castle, a venue normally closed to the public and Heatherslaw will have host a Farmers Market with all things festive and delicious. Everything is spread out to avoid a crush with lots of lovely things to do everywhere you go.
Visitors can enjoy browsing over 80 stalls selling delicious food and drink, cakes and sweet treats, local crafts, gifts, pottery, presents for your pets, confectionary and much, much more. Outside stalls will tempt you with delicious things to eat and drink. You can buy tickets to ride on Heatherslaw Light Railway between Heatherslaw and Etal, or enjoy a journey on vintage double-decker buses running between Etal, Heatherslaw and Ford.
All the local shops, cafes and the pub will be open. In addition, there will be all kinds of festive entertainment including free face-painting for children. More information for visitors will be released later in the year.
