Step into the enchanting world of Ramster Christmas Market in Chiddingfold, Surrey, a unique event set to charm visitors on November 23rd and 24th, 2024.
Nestled within the breathtaking Jacobean halls and the picturesque courtyard, our annual Christmas fair promises a magical experience in a beautifully decorated setting that truly captures the essence of the start of the festive season.
Embark on a delightful Christmas shopping journey as you explore the diverse array of stalls displaying a unique collection of locally made gifts which cater to a wide range of interests. From artisan food and drink to handcrafted beauty products, scented candles, jewellery, arts and crafts, the market is a treasure trove of inspiring and one-of-a-kind gifts. By supporting these talented individuals, you are not just purchasing exclusive gifts that are not available on the high street, you are investing in the local community by coming to this popular Xmas fair.
Buy Surrey artisan festive food and drink
Indulge your taste buds with a delectable array of gourmet treats at the Ramster Christmas Market. From homemade chilli and artisan chocolate to mouthwatering fudge and Janes Cakes, the market offers a feast for the senses. Do not miss the chance to warm up with a cup of mulled wine or hot chocolate from the Ramster Tea House, adding to the cosy atmosphere of the market.
For sweet-toothed people, Mummy Makes Fudge is fantastic and is priced perfectly for stockings, neighbours, and friends. This award-winning dairy fudge, handcrafted in Surrey, is both gluten-free and suitable for vegetarians. A sweet but healthier option is Luffs Meadow Honey. Choose from runny or soft-set honey for your breakfast yoghurt, or why not buy one of their honey hampers as a gift?
No Christmas fair is complete without chocolate, especially when it is as delicious as Clever Bean Chocolate and Noble and Stace Chocolatiers. Clever Bean Chocolate is organic and comes in beautiful packaging. The chocolate buttons are great for children's presents. Noble and Stace Chocolatiers take chocolate to a new level. Their chocolate gifts look incredible, and they even offer a chocolate masterclass as a gift idea.
For a warm, comforting feeling, treat yourself to Snug Cookies. These large, soft-middle cookies are delightfully gooey. Or get extra heat at the Spiced Sussex stall to try woodfired spicy sauces and condiments. This is a perfect gift for those who like spicy or hot food.
