Festive market returns to Seven Sisters
A Christmas extravaganza is coming to the visitor centre and historic barn at Seven Sisters for an action-packed weekend of festive fun.
With mince pies, mulled wine and Bailey’s hot chocolate aplenty, the visitor facilities are being transformed into a winter wonderland of gift stalls and locally-produced fare for all the family to enjoy.
The Christmas Market will take place from 10am to 4pm over the weekend of 5 and 6 December. There will be more than 40 stalls featuring artisan gifts, festive foods and lovingly-made arts, jewellery and crafts.
As well as stocking up on gifts for loved ones, the weekend is also an opportunity to find out more about the South Downs National Park. Seven Sisters is the eastern gateway to the National Park and this year became part of the King’s Series of National Nature Reserves, creating a lasting legacy for future generations to care for the natural world.
People can also learn more about the amazing wildlife, geology and history of Seven Sisters and try out one of the free audio trail adventures.
The event is being run in partnership with Saltmarsh Farmhouse and there will be plenty of scrumptious festive eats on offer at both the café and the grab and go outlet.
Claire Onslow, who manages Seven Sisters, said:
“If you’re looking for Christmas gifts that are a little bit different, then our market is for you! There will be such a wide range on offer, as well as lots of interesting South Downs-inspired present ideas in our visitor centre, including wine, beers, gin, chocolates, and much more. We look forward to welcoming everyone. Wrap up warm and let’s celebrate the most wonderful time of the year.”
“This is one of the highlights of our year and we can’t wait to transform the venue into a magical winter wonderland.
Please remember that the car parks often fill up quickly. The easiest way to visit Seven Sisters is by bus, with a regular 12, 12A and 12X Coaster service between Brighton/Seaford/Eastbourne. All buses stop at the Visitor Centre and connect with railway stations at Seaford, Brighton and Eastbourne.
