Festive Christmas Events Hertfordshire

2 November 2019 by Kirsty Leave a Comment

Christmas markets are one of the many Christmas events Hertfordshire has to offer. I love to visit a Christmas market or two each year, soak up the atmosphere and shop for quirky or unique Christmas gifts and delicious festive treats. Many of the Christmas markets in Hertfordshire also have a Christmas Grotto, with the opportunity to meet Father Christmas!

There’s lots of choice from the Knebworth Christmas Fair, to the Waddesdon Christmas Carnival, the artistic and unique Childwickbury Christmas Market, or the historic St Albans Christmas Charter Market… the list goes on.

If you’re looking for other Christmas events Hertfordshire has to offer then take a look at my guide to Family Theatre and Pantomimes in Hertfordshire and for all things festive, take a look at my guide to 50+ festive things to do in December 2019!
