Christmas market dates

Stroud Goodwill Evening; Friday 4th December 2025

The annual Goodwill Evening market in the Cornhill Square in Stroud will take place on Friday the 4th of December this year. The market runs from 4pm until 9pm and this will be its 25th year.

Although we invite local producers to take part, this is not a farmers’ market.  We encourage applications from traders selling fairly traded products, hand-made quality gifts, and gourmet food & drink.  There will be a cafe, a selection of hot food stalls and mulled wine and cider.

Stalls for this very popular event are strictly limited to 35 and will cost the same as last year as we hold the price for 2026; £55, including an 8ft x 4ft table covered by a canopy and ambient lighting.  No half stalls are available although shared stalls are allowed with the permission of the organisers. If you need electricity, it must be pre-booked and is subject to availability.

The ”Finish your Christmas shopping in Stroud” Christmas Markets,
Wednesday 16th, Thursday 17th, Friday 18th, December 2026. 9am-4pm

For the thirteenth year we are running our Christmas markets in the Cornhill Market Square (home of the Farmers’ Market) on the final days leading up to Christmas. The last few days before Christmas are very busy in Stroud and we are offering stalls to makers and traders selling quality products. Although we encourage local producers to take part, these are not farmers’ markets.  We encourage applications from traders selling fairly traded products, hand-made and quality gifts, and gourmet food & drink.

Stalls for these markets are strictly limited and will cost £35 per day (or £90 if you book all 3 days), including an 8ft x 4ft table covered by a canopy. No half stalls are available although shared stalls are allowed with the permission of the organisers. If you need electricity, it must be pre-booked and is subject to availability.

Join us for what is sure to be a marvellous occasion of celebration and bonhomie!
