Haddon Hall’s Mercatum: A Christmas Market in a Fairytale Setting

Nestled in the heart of the Peak District, Haddon Hall is a time capsule of cascading gardens and medieval courtyards, creating an atmosphere unlike anywhere else. During Mercatum, the Hall takes on a whole new kind of magic. This celebrated artisan Christmas market transforms the estate into a festive haven filled with creativity, craftsmanship, and seasonal charm.

Carefully curated to showcase exceptional artisans - from fine jewellery and glassware to artisan foods, luxury textiles, plants and flowers, and beautifully imaginative gifts. Each stall is presented within the atmospheric rooms, terraces, and courtyards of the Hall, allowing visitors to explore both masterful creations and remarkable history at the same time.

Wandering from room to room feels like stepping through layers of time, each space lit softly and arranged to highlight the work of the makers. The combination of medieval architecture and contemporary craft gives Mercatum its unique character - warm, immersive, and wonderfully inspiring.

Beyond the stalls, visitors can enjoy seasonal food and hot drinks - both in the food & drink marquee and in the courtyard.

Whether you’re searching for meaningful Christmas gifts or simply want to soak up the magic of Haddon Hall in winter, Mercatum offers a memorable blend of tradition, artistry, and seasonal wonder.
