Crawley Small Business & Makers Market

Who fancies another set of reveals!

We'll be joined on 12 December only (so make sure you pop down) by Green Serene Beauty Therapy with a great selection of Tropic products to look after your skin in the cold weather.🥰

Then we're on to a couple of newbies to our Christmas market at Tilgate Park - but they both traded with us over the August bank holiday weekend and are awesome.

It's a big festive welcome first of all to Shirleycraftsgb with a fab range of cards and gifts. They'll be with us on two dates.🥰

And an equally warm greeting to ELT Boutique with their fab jewellery and bits and bobs, who will be joining us for five.🥰

And our lovely regular Lynne's Crafts will be with us with her fab resin pieces, needle felted bits and bobs and lots lots more.🥰

More to follow... 😍

Time for some more reveals for our fab market at Tilgate Park this Christmas! 😍

We'll be joined on five dates by the amazing Henrietta Rose with their pop up boutique, perfect for all those gifts for someone you love (even if that's just you). 🥰

Every weekend, we'll be playing host to the fabulous team at Crawley Bees - if you've not tried their delicious local honey yet, you're really missing out (and it's sold in the shop at Tilgate Zoo if you don't want to wait until December). 🥰

A new one for us that we're pretty excited about - Fruitology UK are joining us on 6 and 12 December. If you've not tried their yummy fruit infusions yet, where have you been!🥰

And one more for today - we're looking forward to sharing four days with the incredible Rose and her team at Felines 1st Cat Rescue - Surrey & Sussex. They always bring a fab range of bits and bobs - including their famous collection of socks which always go down super well in a cold marquee!🥰

As always, if one of those people is you, drop in below to say hello and show off some pictures - and if it isn't, pop over to their page and show them some love/start your festive shopping a bit early.

More to follow... 😍😍😍

I think it's time to start revealing a few of our stallholders at Tilgate Park this Christmas! 🥰

Joining us for most of the run this year are AB Crafts who are back again with their crafted and curated range of jewellery, accessories, pocket gifts and stocking fillers. 😍

They'll be joined by Kayla's Custom Creations who will be there on all the dates with their fab range of personalised gifts and loads and loads of other things!😍

And pop down on the weekend of the 12 and 13 December if you want to pick up the latest jewellery and other creations from Icon Creations.😍

Why not pop over to their pages to see what they're up to, and maybe start planning your purchases!!! And if one of those stallholders is you, drop some pictures!!!

Many many more reveals to follow...

We are full for stallholders for Tilgate Park this Christmas.

If any spaces become available they will be offered to the waiting list in order for that specific date first, then on this page if they are still available.

I've got double digit waiting lists now for the Sunday dates - to put that into context, we only have 19 tables available each day so it would take a lot of people dropping out.

I've had about 10 messages since last night and while I don't blame people for trying there is literally nothing I can do to squeeze anyone else in. 😇

And here's the details of how to apply if you're part of a local group who would love to perform on the main stage at Tilgate Park this festive season! 😍😍😍

Tilgate Park’s Magical Christmas is BACK - and we’re looking for performers to help make it sparkle!

Dancers, singers, choirs, jugglers, unicyclists… whatever your talent is, we want to hear from you.

If you’d like some time in the spotlight on 5, 6, 12, 13, 19, 20, 21, 22 or 23 December, drop us an email at [email protected].

We have plenty of performance slots available each day, so if you or your group would like a 30‑minute showcase, get in touch!

Details of how to book to see Santa at Tilgate Park this Christmas! 😍😍😍

Tickets for both our Christmas experiences - Storytime with Santa and Santa's Grotto - are now LIVE over at https://orlo.uk/JYsmm

Tilgate Park's Magical Christmas returns on 5/6, 12/13, 19-23 December and is set to be our biggest and best yet! The elves have already started stocking the shelves with a whole range of amazing soft toys and we've just received mail from Santa to let us know he's polished his boots and cleaned his glasses ready to welcome you all again.

Tickets are expected to sell out quickly, and once they're gone, they're gone - so be sure to book your slot today.

Both experiences allow the children to meet Santa, receive a gift (a soft toy of their choice) and give a £1 entry to Tilgate Zoo until February 2027.

We look forward to seeing you all again soon!

The rumours are true... we're popping up at Tilgate Park for the third year in a row this Christmas!

Normally I'd be appealing for stallholders right about now, but thanks to a long list of previous traders who wanted to come back - and a few newbies who got in touch - we're now stuffed to the rafters (with a healthy waiting list for a number of the dates). If any gaps open up I'll advertise them here assuming that list is exhausted.

It's going to be a fab few weekends and extra days in the run up to Christmas Day. Stallholder reveals to follow soon - but we've got one hell of a line up for you! 😍

Tilgate Park's Magical Christmas isn't just about the market - there's also Santa visits and Storytime with Santa (bookings open now), an escape room, a funfair, theatre shows for the kids and live performances from talented local groups. And the cafe. And the blooming Zoo! Be there or be somewhere nowhere near as good!
