Bustling Christmas market announce new dates to delight shoppers this festive season in Derbyshire
The Mini Christmas Artisan Markets will be running on new dates due to popular demand
With just a few weekends left to go to Christmas Day, people may be feeling the pressure to get all their Christmas shopping done before the big day.
People now have a little more time to shop thanks to one of the region’s top Christmas markets held at a Derbyshire beauty spot.
Organisers of Haddon Hall’s Mercatum Christmas Artisan Markets have announced new shopping dates for Mini Mercatum 2025.
Haddon Hall cited ‘wonderful local enthusiasm’ to launch the three days long artisan event running from December 18 - 20.
People can expect a cosy festive atmosphere by shopping in Alpine style huts.
Haddon Hall said: ‘Due to the wonderful local enthusiasm for Mercatum, we are delighted to present Mini Mercatum, a three-day artisan event from 18th – 20th December.
‘Thirty of our alpine chalets will remain in place along the driveway and picnic area, creating a charming festive promenade for visitors.
‘Whilst this intimate edition does not include the indoor stalls of our Mercatum Christmas Artisan Market, it offers a rare chance to enjoy a touch of its seasonal charm and craftsmanship in the days before Christmas.’
Delighted shoppers took to social media to make their voices heard.
One fan praised the ‘fantastic’ news and ‘high quality of stall holders, better than anywhere else.’
The extension appears to be a hit with traders and customers alike.
Peak Sales Baskets & Gift Ware said: ‘We’re really looking forward to trading on these extra days.’
Christmas is one of the busiest periods of the trading year and a great time to support local, independent businesses in a tough economic climate.
