Explore Our Christmas Market
Whether you’re a fanatic festive fan or prefer a quiet stroll with beautiful views, the Missenden Abbey Christmas market is for you. Set in the heart of our Abbey, there’s lots for everyone to enjoy.
Unique Gifts and Treats
A Christmas market marks the start of a magical season and is a great opportunity to see local crafts, products and produce up close. With items such as candles, jewellery and accessories, there’s a sleigh-full of inspiration for your Christmas shopping.
Entertainment for the kids
While you enjoy finding the perfect stocking fillers, there is plenty of merriment for our younger guests. See their faces light up as they spot Christmas trees, fairy lights and decorations, and hear their laughter as they twirl around the merry-go-round. For brave guests, see if they can reach the top of the trees with bungee-jump trampolines.
Food and drink
‘Tis the season for delicious treats, and after all that shopping, you deserve to refuel with the feast of food and drinks on offer.
