Christmas fair

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.

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.

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.
