Cliffe Castle Museum

Our yearly Christmas Craft fair is returning!

Join us at Cliffe Castle for a magical weekend. With a range of craft and gift stalls, you’re sure to find a gift or two – whether for yourself or others!

You can also book in your children to see Father Christmas in the beautiful surroundings of the Grand Drawing room as he returns to the Castle for 2025.

It’s a perfect event to get you in the mood for Christmas!

Check back for more details and as the stall holder list is finalised we’ll be adding them here.

Booking is now available for Father Christmas  – we recommend prebooking to avoid disappointment.
