About
The Christmas Gift Markets run daily from 13 to 22 December 2026 in Cirencester's Market Place — a rotating cast of local makers, growers, artisans and gift stalls setting up under the arcades. Handmade cards and decorations, ceramics, textiles, Cotswold gin and spirits, hampers and last-minute Christmas presents from producers within a few miles of the town.
Open through the day (individual stallholders set their own hours; expect most out from mid-morning until dusk). Free to attend. The town's shops and cafés run full pre-Christmas hours; live music and choir performances on the Market Place at weekends.
In Cirencester
Once the second-largest city in Roman Britain, today a lively market town with one of the finest 'wool churches' in England.
