Update: Stratford upon Avon Christmas Market Weekend 1 Postponed

Press Release

Published on 5 December 2024


Unfortunately, the Stratford-upon-Avon Christmas Market will be postponed this weekend, Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th December, due to the yellow and amber weather warnings issued by the Met Office.

Storm Darragh will arrive this Friday evening and affect most of the United Kingdom. The storm is forecast to continue throughout the day on Saturday and possibly into Sunday with wind speeds forecast to exceed 60mph, which is considered a danger to life. This is extremely disappointing news for all, however, the safety of our traders, staff and the public must be at the forefront of all decisions.

We are currently working with our partners on alternative arrangements to operate this event before Christmas and we will confirm further details as soon as possible.

We very much look forward to the second Stratford-upon-Avon Christmas Market taking place on the following weekend, Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th December, as planned.
