First Christmas Market Celebrates Local Makers and Community Spirit

Saturday 22nd November, 10am–5pm at The Eric Morecambe Centre


We Are Harpenden, in partnership with The Eric Morecambe Centre, are thrilled to invite the community to their very first Christmas Market on Saturday 22nd November, from 10am to 5pm, showcasing the best of local creativity, craftsmanship, and festive spirit.


The market will feature a delightful range of local independent businesses, each bringing their own touch of seasonal magic. Visitors can browse handcrafted gifts, artisan food, festive homeware, and meet the talented people behind these small, local brands. There will also be wreath-making workshops and a festive photo pop-up, making it a perfect day out for families and friends.


“This event is all about celebrating and supporting our amazing local makers and small businesses,” said organisers Katie and Sabine from We Are Harpenden. “It’s a chance to shop small, connect with our community, and enjoy some Christmas cheer — all under one roof.”


In the spirit of giving, the market will also feature a charity raffle to raise funds for Youth Talk, a local organisation providing free, confidential counselling to young people. Local businesses have generously donated prizes, and organisers welcome further support from those wishing to contribute or sponsor the event.


📅 Date: Saturday 22nd November, 2025
🕙 Time: 10am – 5pm
🌟 Free Entry
📍 Venue: The Eric Morecambe Centre, Leyton Road, Harpenden
