About this event
Stowmarket Christmas Fayre returns on Sunday 29 November 2026, with local and artisan gift stalls, hot food, family activities, live music and free rides across the town centre and partner venues: The Mix, Red Gables, the Food Museum, the Library, John Peel Centre, the Church and The Regal.
Entry is free. The Town Council hasn't published the 2026 opening times yet; last year's fayre ran from 10am to 4pm.
Red Gables is home to the not-for-profit stalls. Its festive family area runs from 10am to 3pm, with charity and community group stalls around the car park offering raffles, tombolas, Christmas gifts and crafts, plus live music, face painting and a budget-friendly indoor café in the Redwoods building. Red Gables is at the top of town on Ipswich Road (IP14 1BE), opposite The Mix and next to The Regal. Drivers will find it at the top of Hollingsworth Road.
Last year's fayre featured more than 80 traders, a Mixmas Market at The Mix, a festive marquee and free ice skating at the Food Museum, live music outside the John Peel Centre, three free fairground rides, children's crafts at the Library and John Peel Centre, Santa's Christmas Party at The Regal and a Christmas Tree Festival at St Peter & St Mary's Church. The 2026 programme may differ, so check back for the latest details.
The fayre is organised by Stowmarket Town Council with partner venues, and sponsored by Bucks, Squab Storage and Gipping Press.
