Christmas Market

The Bowes Museum’s annual Christmas Market – a firm favourite in the regional calendar – has a new format for this year’s event. For a small cover charge of £2.50 visitors can look forward to seasonal shopping at around 80 stalls, use of the bus ‘park and ride’ facility and admission to the Museum, including access to the three stunning exhibitions currently on show. And in a further change from previous markets - in deference to the vagaries of the British weather - food producers will be based on the hard-standing on the Museum terrace while craft stalls will be housed in a floored marquee on the rear lawn. The event, offers quality gifts and produce from some of the finest suppliers in the area, including meats, chocolates, Christmas cakes, liqueurs, festive wreaths, toys, jewellery, paintings and pottery. The popular Teesdale Alpacas will also be on site, with staff selling items made from their wool while chatting to visitors about these adorable creatures. Inside the Museum, Santa will be welcoming children to his grotto from 10.00am – 12.30pm & again from 1.30pm – 4.00pm; admission to the grotto is £3.00 per child, which includes a gift.
