About

Royal Hillsborough Christmas Market returns to The Dark Walk and Hillsborough Fort for one day only on Friday 13th December 2024. The market starts as twilight sets in at 3pm until 9pm.

The gates of The Dark Walk will be open for an evening of sparkling festivities. Royal Hillsborough's independent shops will be staying open for late night shopping too making it a perfect location for the idyllic Christmas Shopping experience.

Come and celebrate the season with festive fun, artisan food, art and craft and discover the perfect gifts from our local makers.

The treelined Dark Walk will be decked with twinkling lights and festive music from local choirs and musicians will fill the air.

It may be chilly out, but when the Christmas lights are on, and the scent of cinnamon and pine is in the air you can't help but get into the Christmas spirit. Stroll through stalls of local artisans and discover gifts to treat your family and friends as well as food delights for your table.

There will be plenty of hot drinks and delicious food to eat, all set against the beautiful backdrop of Hillsborough Fort.

We hope you can make it!
