Cheltenham’s Christmas Market will fill the Promenade for two weeks in December, with more than 40 chalets in the heart of the town’s Regency centre.

The market runs from Thursday 10 December to Wednesday 23 December 2026, open every day from 10am to 5pm.

What to expect

The stalls mix local craft producers with Christmas gifts. Festive food and mulled wine are on sale along the row, and the market is run by Cotswold Markets.

Entry is free, so it is an easy stop for a lunchtime browse or a bit of early Christmas shopping.

Getting there

Visitors can use the council car parks in the town centre. Multi-storey parking is available at Regent Arcade, at John Lewis and at the NCP near The Brewery Quarter.

Trains, coaches and buses all serve Cheltenham, so the market is easy to reach without a car.
