Beccles Sunday Christmas Market

Join us for our biggest market of the year. This Christmas, Beccles Town Centre comes alive with stalls, street food, gifts and live music.

Sunday 20th December 2026 9am to 5pm Beccles Town Centre, NR34
For visitors

A Christmas day out in Beccles

Following the success of Beccles Sunday Market, we're going bigger for Christmas, with space for over 60 stalls, food traders and food trucks right in the heart of the town.

The town centre roads will be closed to traffic for the event, so we can create a Christmas market throughout central Beccles, packed with independent traders, street food, gifts, entertainment and festive atmosphere.

We'll also be trading later than our normal Sunday Market, giving you plenty of time to shop, eat, explore Beccles and enjoy the festivities. It's free to wander and shop, the same as any other Sunday.

This isn't just a market. We want to create a Christmas day out in Beccles, bringing traders, local businesses, residents and visitors together in the town centre just five days before Christmas.

Why trade with us

Beccles Sunday Market has quickly become a popular Sunday destination, bringing people into the town centre to discover independent traders while also supporting Beccles' shops, cafés, pubs and restaurants. For Christmas, we're taking that concept to another level.

Apply early

We want a varied Christmas market featuring some of our regular Beccles Sunday Market traders alongside exciting new businesses from across Norfolk, Suffolk and beyond.

Spaces are limited by category, particularly for food and drink, so we recommend applying early.
