**Visitors to the beautiful city of Canterbury this winter will be in for a rare festive treat as a historic 600-year-old Christmas market returns to the grounds of Canterbury Cathedral.**

First held in the Cathedral Precincts in 1383 following a royal grant by King Richard II, the Cathedral’s seasonal markets were hugely popular and ran for hundreds of years.
Reviving this centuries-old tradition for 2024, the modern Christmas market will feature a range of picturesque German-style wooden huts within the Cathedral Precincts, as well as delicious food and drink outlets, a vintage-style carousel ride, and live music performances – including Saturday Shoppers’ Carol Services.

There will be free entry to the Precincts during the market – sightseers will only need to pay to go inside the Cathedral and Cloister during visiting hours and some of us still have annual tickets if you wish to go into the Cathedral

Meet as usual at the Park and Ride, Wincheap
Parking charge £4 per day, per car with up to six passengers
