Let’s hear those sleigh bells jingling and a ring-ding-tingling too for the Exmoor Christmas Fair, which is held in Porlock Village Hall.\u00a0 Adored every year by locals and visitors alike, you can expect delights ranging from specialty food & drink to authentic hand made gifts.\u00a0 Porlock is one of our favourite spots on Exmoor because it has so much charm, and so many lovely little establishments.\u00a0 So, if you opt for this one we suggest you also check out our Porlock visitors guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n This is one of Exmoor’s most cherished events of the year.\u00a0 It’s a gorgeously unique Christmas market, lit entirely by (yep, you guessed it:) candlelight!\u00a0 In fact, it’s so special, that we’ve got a whole separate blog post devoted entirely to it; so for more information click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\t Usually Lynton & Lynmouth team up for festivities, but this year “Lynmouth in Lights” kicks off the proceedings on the first weekend of December.\u00a0 There will be carol singing, sea shanties (in true Lynmouth style), a nativity, a raffle, kids activities and you can even meet the Grinch!\u00a0 The Christmas lights switch on will be happening at 4pm on the Esplanade too.\u00a0 Look out for the wonderful fisherman’s Christmas tree by Rhenish Tower if you go.<\/p>\n\t Dulverton by Starlight<\/a>, much like Dunster by Candlelight, is magical event and Christmas market in the dark, except, rather than candlelight, this one’s all about shopping underneath a canopy of Exmoor’s famous stars…\u00a0 With hundreds of beautiful twinkly fairy lights, glittering away too.<\/p>\n Festivities including stalls with stunning goods for sale, street entertainers & live music will be in action all afternoon and into the evening.\u00a0 At 3pm in the Heritage Centre, Father Christmas is coming to town, at 5.45pm by the big Christmas Tree there will be a Christmas Carols sing-a-long… And, for that extra sparkle, there will be fireworks!\u00a0 (Shooting off at 6.15pm.)<\/p>\n The whole village will be alive with Christmas magic, and it really is such a pretty little village. More info at @dulvertonbystarlight on Instagram.<\/p>\n\t Lynton’s Christmas market weekend is one of the biggest on Exmoor.\u00a0 The market itself happens in the beautiful old Lynton Town Hall, which is practically a castle!\u00a0 There’ll be delicious festive food and drink options, as well as an amazing array of choices for your Christmas shopping.\u00a0 There will also be a festive songs sing-a-long in the church (2-4pm on the Saturday) and<\/span> FREE face painting at Willow’s Winter Grotto!\u00a0 (From 12-3pm on both days.)<\/p>\n\t South Molton isn’t\u00a0technically<\/em> on Exmoor but, depending on where you’re staying, it might only be a 15min drive for you.\u00a0 So we thought we’d include it in case you’re interested, because South Molton is known for it’s incredible high ceilinged, 19th Century Pannier Market, so they do have some SUPER stuff happening.\u00a0 Click here<\/a> or see below for what’s lined up…<\/p>\n\t Bars, street food vendors, rides & inflatables, live music and a guest appearances from BBC Radio Devon’s John Acres.\u00a0 Not to mention the adorable children’s lantern parade and FREE ice skating in the lorry park!\u00a0 This one should really kick off the holiday season with a bang.<\/p>\n A Christmas market held in the famous Pannier Market with over 70 stalls selling goods, food & drink so you can get a head start on your shopping.\u00a0 Free ice skating too.<\/p>\n If you’re looking for a Christmas market with antique, vintage & retro items then maybe this is the one for you.\u00a0 Again, in the Pannier with 70 odd stalls… surely worth popping along if not just for a mulled cider!<\/p>\n Of course, if you’re planning a trip around a Christmas market, we can help you find a gorgeous holiday cottage to suit your needs in (or near enough to) any of the above locations.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.thebestofexmoor.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/porlock-christmas-fair-e1668427745997.jpg\")
