It's that time of year again as The Rutland Big Christmas Market returns with a new venue and promises to be the most magical yet! Organised by two passionate mothers, Charlie Pallett and Victoria Bullett (formerly of PRINK in Oakham) who run Rutland Women in Business, founded in 2019—a local community group dedicated to championing small businesses—this year’s The Rutland Big Christmas Market has found a new home at the recently renovated Barnsdale Hotel near Oakham.

This expanded three-day extravaganza was inspired by last year’s success, where crowds made it clear that Rutland was ready for even more festive fun in 2024. The Rutland Big Christmas Market will host over 90 stalls featuring handcrafted gifts, gourmet delights and festive treats, each offering something special for that perfect Christmas gifting opportunity.

With every small business and charity stall, the market radiates Rutland’s unique community spirit—from artisan gifts to delicious local food and more. Taking place over three days from Friday 15th, Saturday 16th and Sunday 17th November 2024 this event ensures everyone has ample time to enjoy the festivities and admission tickets (booking essential) from only £3.00.
