GENERAL INTEREST
Christmas
markets and
winter wonderlands
with the National Trust
If you’re looking for somewhere special to do the Christmas shopping
this year, look no further than the National Trust. With lots of unique
Christmas markets selling gorgeous handmade crafts, delicious local
food and extra-special gifts, the National Trust is putting the magic
back into the Christmas shopping experience.
Escape the high street crowds and indulge yourself in locally made mulled wine and mince pies,
stroll through winter gardens that glisten and sparkle in the frost and soak up the festive spirit whilst
finding unique gifts for your loved ones.
If you’re looking for something a bit different this year, check out the 100ft flower garland at
Cotehele in Cornwall, or the twilight display at Wallington in Northumberland. For those who love
fairy tales, head to Killerton in Devon to walk the Grimm Christmas trail, inspired by the Brothers
Grimm tales.
And warm yourself with the knowledge that each magical day out supports the National Trust’s
work as a charity looking after special places for future generations to enjoy.
Here’s the National Trust’s pick of the best festive fairs...
