If you love discovering unusual gifts, independent brands and plenty of Christmas inspiration, make a date in your diary for the Ascot Christmas Fair 2026.
Returning to Ascot Racecourse from Thursday 12th to Sunday 15th November 2026, the Fair brings together a wonderful selection of independent exhibitors for four festive days of shopping, food and drink.
Perfectly timed for getting ahead with your Christmas shopping, it’s a chance to browse gifts you won’t necessarily find on the high street, discover new small businesses and enjoy a festive day out with friends or family at one of Britain’s most iconic racecourses.
Christmas shopping with something a little different
Finding the right Christmas present isn’t always easy – particularly for the person who seems to have everything.
That’s where the Ascot Christmas Fair comes in.
Across the Fair you’ll discover a carefully selected collection of exhibitors offering everything from fashion, jewellery and accessories to homeware, gifts, Christmas decorations, artisan food and festive treats.
Alongside some familiar favourites who return to the Fair year after year, there will also be plenty of new businesses and products to discover in 2026.
Whether you’re searching for a thoughtful present, stocking fillers, something special for the Christmas table or even a little treat for yourself, you’ll have plenty to browse.
Support independent businesses this Christmas
One of the joys of Christmas shopping at the Fair is getting to meet the people behind the products.
Our Christmas Fairs have always championed independent businesses, bringing together an eclectic mix of exhibitors from across the UK.
Instead of spending the day visiting the same shops you can find on every high street, the Fair gives you the opportunity to discover smaller brands, talk directly to their owners and find presents with a little more personality.
And with so many exhibitors gathered together at Ascot Racecourse, you can tick off plenty of your Christmas list in one place.
New for the Ascot Christmas Fair in 2026
Visitors returning to Ascot this November will notice some changes to the Fair.
For 2026, our ground-floor restaurant is moving into a marquee adjoining the Pavilion, creating more seating and a more comfortable space to stop for something to eat during your visit.
The move also gives us additional room within the Fair itself, allowing us to bring you an even greater number and variety of exhibitors this Christmas.
So when your shopping bags start getting heavy, you can stop for lunch or a drink, compare purchases with your shopping companions and then head back into the Fair for another browse.
Make a festive day of it at Ascot Racecourse
We think Christmas shopping should be something to enjoy rather than another job on the December to-do list.
The Ascot Christmas Fair is a chance to gather a friend or family member, spend a few hours browsing at your own pace, stop for something to eat and leave feeling decidedly more prepared for Christmas.
Taking place in November, it’s also early enough to get ahead before the real Christmas rush begins.
