The Artisan Christmas Market at Bishops Palace is back for 2026
This is my favourite Christmas fair, so I’m thrilled to be joining them again this year.
I’ll be joined by over 70 local traders and makers where you’re guaranteed to find lots of gift ideas for Christmas.
Wells City Band will be performing on the Saturday 12pm till 2pm which adds a little extra sparkle!
Its the busiest event of the year at Bishops Palace, so booking ahead will guarantee a fast track entry.
The address for the event is
Off Market Place (through The Bishop’s Eye entrance)
Wells
Somerset
BA5 2PD
Dates
Saturday Nov 14th: Open 10-4pm
Sunday Nov 15th: Open 10-4pm
