Melton Mowbray Victorian Christmas Fair is Back!

This Christmas Melton Mowbray is preparing to host the grandest Victorian Christmas Fair, transforming the town into a magical, Christmas adventure from Friday, 28th to Sunday, 30th November 2025. The focus is on creating a truly immersive Christmas experience, with the traditional Victorian Markets located at the Stockyard and in the Town Streets. There will also be wandering Victorian costumed characters, a children’s funfair and the Melton Mowbray Lions Santas Grotto. The event will include all areas of the town, from the Museum and Christmas Wreath festival in the east, to the Christmas Tree Festival in St Mary’s Church.

Christmas Market will have host an array of curated Christmas themed stalls of festive gifts, local produce, food & drink & hand-crafted wares, alongside traditional funfair, street performers and entertainers & much more!

With music and family entertainment, it’s the perfect place to enjoy some Christmas gift buying and local shopping, whilst also indulging in a drink or lunch in one of our many cafes, restaurants and bars in town.
Dress the Part! Join the Celebration! This year, you are the main attraction!

We invite all our visitors to embrace the spirit of the event by dressing in Victorian costume. From splendid top hats and elegant bonnets to simple shawls and flat caps, every effort helps to create a wonderfully immersive atmosphere for everyone to enjoy.
