🎄 FANCY A BIT OF CHRISTMAS SHOPPING? 🎁
Join us on Saturday 7th November 2026 for a visit to North Weald Market, one of Essex’s biggest open-air markets!
With more than 300 independent traders, there will be bargains galore and something to suit everyone.
You’ll find a fantastic selection of:
🧥 Winter coats and boots
👗 Clothing, shoes and accessories
💄 Makeup and beauty products
🎄 Holly wreaths and Christmas gifts
🧰 Tools, household goods and garden items
🍎 Fresh fruit and vegetables at excellent prices
🥩 A popular meat auction

…and much more!
🍴 FOOD AND REFRESHMENTS
North Weald Market is also a great place to enjoy a wide variety of food.
The street-food area offers everything from Jamaican curry and chips to traditional pie and mash, along with coffee, snacks, Thai, Chinese and Indian dishes—including goat curry!
✈️ As the market is held on a working airfield, you may also spot historic aircraft arriving and departing during the day.
🚻 Clean toilets, including accessible facilities, are available.
💳 Cash is still king at many markets, although plenty of stalls also accept card payments.
🛍️ SHOP, DROP AND SHOP SOME MORE!
At an arranged time during the day, you’ll be able to return your shopping to the coach, where it can be stored safely underneath until we arrive home.
That means you can head back to the market and shop for even more!
This really is the perfect Patchwork Tour for a Saturday Christmas mooch. 🎄
