The Festive Festival 2026 - Christmas Markets Sunday

Let the Festivities Commence!

The Festive Festival returns on Sunday 6 December, offering a joyful celebration dedicated entirely to Christmas. Set across two beautiful venues, the event promises a cosy, twinkling, candlelit atmosphere filled with festive food, drink, shopping and entertainment.

Entry Information

The festival is open from 11:00am to 5:00pm. Visitors can choose either a morning or afternoon arrival slot, helping organisers manage attendance throughout the day. Once admitted, guests are welcome to stay as long as they wish.

Tickets cost £5 per adult, granting access to both The Mowbray and Victoria, with free movement between the two venues throughout the day. Children can attend free of charge.

Dogs are welcome in Victoria's Courtyard. However, due to the busy nature of the indoor markets, organisers ask that dogs do not enter the indoor event spaces.

Please note that event entry tickets must be purchased in addition to any food pre-orders.

Two Venues, One Festive Day

Visitors can enjoy a day of Christmas shopping, festive singalongs, live choirs, delicious food and drink, and plenty of opportunities to relax and soak up the seasonal atmosphere across both Victoria and The Mowbray.

Christmas Choirs

Some of Sheffield's finest choirs will perform festive favourites throughout the day, bringing the sounds and spirit of Christmas to the celebrations.

Christmas Shopping

The festival will showcase a carefully curated selection of Sheffield-based makers, creators and independent businesses. Shoppers can browse gifts for the home, handmade accessories, festive food and drink, and table styling inspiration for the holiday season.

All-Day Christmas Feasting and Drinking

At Clubhouse Social, Victoria, visitors will find festive treats, speciality coffee, cakes, bakes and an all-day seasonal menu. Lunch from the Fire Kitchen will also be available, along with offerings from the Mulled Wine and Mince Pie Bar.
