A Festive Day Out in the Heart of Oundle

Christmas is just around the corner, and we're getting ready to welcome the festive season back to Oundle once again with one of our favourite events of the year! On Saturday 5th December 2026, Oundle Christmas Market will return for a fun-filled day of festive shopping, entertainment and Christmas cheer in the heart of our beautiful town. With more than 90 local stalls to explore, there'll be plenty of opportunities to find the perfect Christmas gifts, discover independent businesses and enjoy delicious food, festive goodies and seasonal treats along the way.

It wouldn't be Christmas in Oundle without plenty of entertainment too! Throughout the day, you can enjoy festive carols and the sounds of the brass band, take the little ones to visit Santa in his Grotto and have a ride or two at the funfair. Then, at 3:30pm, we'll be gathering together for one of the highlights of the day – the annual Christmas Light Switch-On, officially lighting up Oundle for the festive season ahead.

Whether you're joining us for some Christmas shopping, catching up with friends and family or simply soaking up the atmosphere, we can't wait to welcome you to Oundle for a truly magical and memorable day.

Visitors can benefit from free parking available in Oundle, including dedicated disabled parking, so save the date and come and celebrate Christmas in Oundle with us!
