Christmas fair

Join us for an indoor and outdoor Christmas market at the beautifully decorated Palace!

The whole family can enjoy exploring our fourth annual Christmas fair at the Palace – browsing our small business market, treating yourselves to mulled wine, mince pies, and a variety of other food and drink, singing along to carollers in the courtyard, and lots more!

The market

Our growing stallholder market includes a variety of small business stalls filled with fine foods and gifts, perfect for buying some thoughtful presents. Fill gaps in your stockings with handcrafted items from talented, carefully selected local traders, spread across the historic rooms, marquee and main drive.

Treat yourself to a bite to eat from a variety of food traders on our main drive and relax in the historic Tudor courtyard or drawing room café with a glass of mulled wine.

The Fulham Palace garden stall will be selling handcrafted Christmas wreaths made by our gardeners and volunteers. The museum shop will also have festive decorations and gifts with each purchase supporting the Palace.

Gift grotto tombola

Have you been naughty or nice? Find out and test your luck with our gift grotto tombola featuring a variety of prizes from stallholders and local businesses.  All proceeds go towards supporting the Palace.

Jolly tuck shop

Visit the Palace’s jolly tuck shop for sweet treats and festive goodies. Adults can enjoy mulled wine and children can pick up candy canes, chocolate lollies and more with all proceeds supporting the Palace!

Amusements & activities

Children can enjoy a variety of activities across the weekend, including a festive-themed trail, storytelling and free crafts.

Carols in the courtyard

Local choirs will fill the Tudor courtyard with festive cheer by singing some of the season’s favourite carols – make sure you’re ready to sing along! Settle down in Bishop Sherlock’s room for a recital from talented local artists and our skilled volunteer musicians!
