Experience the Magic of Christmas at Samlesbury Hall’s Two-Day Fair
This year, Samlesbury Hall is thrilled to announce an extraordinary Christmas Fair Weekend that promises to be bigger and better than ever before. Mark your calendars for the 30th of November and the 1st of December 2024, as we open our doors to a magical two-day event featuring over 40 stalls, each brimming with local products and festive cheer.
A Festive Extravaganza Over Two Days
For the first time, our beloved Samlesbury Hall Christmas Fair will span an entire weekend, allowing visitors more time to explore, shop, and soak in the festive atmosphere. With the fair historically being one of the busiest times for Samlesbury Hall, we’ve decided to make this year’s event a bumper one, spreading the excitement and enjoyment over two full days.
Our grounds will be transformed into a winter wonderland, showcasing the best of our beautiful county’s local products. From handcrafted gifts and artisanal food hampers to unique decorations and festive novelties, there will be something for everyone. Supporting over 40 small businesses, the fair provides a wonderful opportunity to discover and purchase high-quality, locally-made products while contributing to the local economy.
Delightful Culinary Offerings
No festive fair would be complete without delicious food and drink, and this year, we’re pulling out all the stops. Our recently refurbished Garden Room Eatery will be open throughout the weekend, serving up scrumptious Christmas lunches. Indulge in the heartwarming flavors of the season with our specially prepared meals, designed to bring comfort and joy to your taste buds.
As you stroll through the fair, make sure to warm up with a cup of mulled wine, perfectly spiced to evoke the holiday spirit. And what’s Christmas without mince pies? Our cafe will be serving plenty of these traditional treats alongside hot turkey sandwiches and other delightful Christmas goodies.
For those with a sweet tooth, Dottie’s Wafflery, our in-house treat haven, will be offering an array of mouth-watering delights. Enjoy freshly made hot waffles, topped to perfection, and pair them with a selection of hot drinks to keep you cozy as you explore the stalls.
Free Entry and Parking – A Gift from Us to You
In the spirit of giving, we’re pleased to offer free entry and free parking for all visitors.
