Four Sundays of free festive markets with local traders selling unique goods and seasonal treats in Salisbury's historic Market Place.
The Sunday Festive Markets are returning to Salisbury Market Place on 29 November, 6, 13 and 20 December 2026 — the four Sundays leading up to Christmas. It's a Salisbury City Council Markets Team production, and it turns the city's historic Market Place into an open-air seasonal shopping venue for the whole month.
The stalls are run by local traders, so it's a good place to find things you won't just pick up on a high street. They'll have a wide range of unique goods, seasonal treats and special gifts for loved ones, and the retail and food traders sit side by side, so you can grab something to eat while you browse. Because it's spread across four Sundays, you don't have to get all your shopping sorted in one go — you can drop in once, twice, or every single week as December rolls on.

It's a free entry event, so there's no ticket to book or queue for. Each market runs from 10am to 4pm, which gives you a full day to wander through the stalls at your own pace. Whether you're looking for a few specific gifts or just fancy a look around, you'll find it at Salisbury Market Place on 29 November, 6, 13 and 20 December, 10am to 4pm.
