About this event
Between 22 and 25 November 2018, the historic centre of Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk will be transformed into the wonderful Bury St Edmunds Christmas Fayre with colourful stalls selling local produce and crafts as well as traders from around the UK and mainland Europe, with traditional fairground rides and on-stage entertainment.
The Angel Hill area of Bury St Edmunds, with its recently crowned cathedral, medieval Abbey Gate and links with Charles Dickens is the ideal setting for a traditional Christmas Fayre. An added attraction is the town’s nearby cosmopolitan shopping centre with its great mix of famous name stores and independent shops plus cafés and restaurants galore. Visitors on Friday and Saturday will also be able to sample the delights of Bury St Edmunds provisions market on the Buttermarket and Cornhill while, this year, the date also coincides with the Cathedral’s Christmas Fair and the Medieval Fayre in Moyse’s Hall Museum. There will be street entertainment on all three days leading up into the town centre and more stalls in our new Arc shopping centre. There really is something for everyone.
Bury St Edmunds has good value parking close to the town centre and a park and ride service will operate. For groups and coach parties there will be coach drop off points close to Angel Hill on all three days. Coaches will be able to park all day for a small charge, there will also be a free taxi service provided for drivers to take them into town and a £5 meal voucher for all pre-booked coaches.

•ProsThe best Xmas market I have been to (and I have been to Bath, London, Winchester, Worcester, Cardiff and Lincoln), great atmosphere, friendly and helpful people and stands and a great range of stands with lots of handmade British products. The music on the stage was great too and all by local bands and people. Will definitely make it an annual feature but will visit on Thursday night as I'm told they have free fairground rides for the children and fireworks. Well done Bury St Edmunds!
