Welcome to the Weald & Downland Living Museum’s Christmas Market 2019With over 200 pop-up stalls spread out across the Museum’s picturesque cobbled paths, occupying our wonderful collection of rescued historic buildings across 40 acres of the Museum site, it’s the perfect place to do a spot of Christmas shopping. Our Christmas Market is one of West Sussex’s most well-known Christmas events, providing in the region of 12,000 visitors with not only quality locally produced food and drink, but festive gifts, unique homewares, Christmas decorations, handcrafted jewellery and more.

Today, throughout the Museum, you’ll find tasty food to satisfy any appetite; enjoy hot roasted chestnuts or indulge in quality chocolate, grab a delicious hog roast or some fish and chips, visit our Waterside café, or try locally produced cheese and warm yourself up with a glass of mulled wine while you browse.

Don’t forget to pick up our 2020 calendar of events, as next year we will be celebrating our 50th Anniversary.

Wishing all our wonderful visitors a very Merry Christmas!

With best wishes and festive cheer,

The Museum Team
