It might seem early to be thinking about our wonderful Winter Festival 2026 - but the clock ticks round faster than we would like to admit ..

We're looking for wonderful and festive quality artisan makers, local producers, gift retailers, food vendors and all things Christmas to help create a magical evening in the heart of town.

We might be early but don't be fooled – trader spaces usually disappear faster than mince pies at Christmas!

Head over to www.ellesmerefestivals.co.uk to reserve your spot. (subject to booking fees and availability).
