Christmas Markets in PR5
The Hunters Christmas Markets are back with four dates across November & December.
Step into a festive corner of Preston where Christmas feels a little warmer, a little closer, and a lot more local. Each year, Dutch Barn Artisan transforms The Hunters outdoor space into a cosy winter market — and this season, it’s back over four days!
As you wander in, the first thing you feel is the atmosphere: soft chatter, the smell of hot food drifting from the pub kitchen, and rows of decorated stalls lining the walkway. Every table tells a story — handmade gifts, artisan bakes, winter wreaths, crafted candles, unique art pieces, jewellery, preserves, and festive treats you didn’t know you needed but suddenly have to take home.
What makes The Hunters market special isn’t just the shopping. It’s the pace of it. Families wrapped up warm, children choosing stocking fillers, dogs in Christmas jumpers, couples sharing a mulled drink, neighbours bumping into each other. It feels like a village Christmas — even if you don’t live in one.
Across two weekends —
29th & 30th November
13th & 14th December
from 10am to 3pm — the market brings a rotating lineup of local makers, bakers, creators, and festive favourites. No two days are the same, so each visit uncovers something new.
The Hunters handles the food and drink, so you’re never far from a hot chocolate, a pint, or something delicious from the kitchen while you browse.
If you’re looking for a Christmas day out that’s relaxed, local, and full of character — this is it. A place to find gifts with meaning, support local talent, and soak up the season at your own pace.
Your world. Your Christmas.
