About Us

We are thrilled to announce the return of the Derbyshire Christmas Fair in 2026, an early festive event in support of Parkinson’s UK. This year, for the first time, we are introducing an exclusive evening shopping experience on Wednesday 28th October 2026 from 5pm to 8pm, allowing those at work during the day to enjoy the Fair. Light refreshments including bubbles, will be available to purchase while you shop.  The Fair will continue in full swing the following day, Thursday 29th October 2026 from 10am-4pm, for a bustling day of festive shopping.

 

The event is hosted in the stunning permanent marquee at Osmaston Park, Ashbourne, Derbyshire, DE6 1LW, overlooking the estate’s picturesque lake.  The location is usually reserved for weddings, and provides a fabulous backdrop for our Fair, last year attracting over 60 stalls offering a wide variety of high-quality products and over 700 visitors. 

 

Whether you are after cashmere or loungewear, accessories to elevate an outfit or your home, or maybe some foody delights there will be plenty to tempt you either for yourself or for gifting.

 

Feedback from last year’s stallholders and shoppers was overwhelmingly positive. The Fair raised over £30,000 for Parkinson’s UK.
