Iconic Faversham food hub Macknade is spreading festive cheer this December with the launch of its first ever free to attend Christmas Market, taking place in The Hop Shed at its Faversham home.

Taking place on Saturday 6 & Sunday 7 December 2025, from 10am – 4pm, the event promises a weekend brimming with local flavour, festive treats and artisan craftsmanship – the perfect way to kickstart the season.

Visitors can expect a curated collection of handpicked brands, tastings, and unique gift ideas you won’t usually find in-store. From indulgent festive food to thoughtful presents, there’s something for everyone this Christmas.

Producers and stockists selling at the Christmas Market include Elvis & Kresse, Christopher’s Cordials, Amazing Grace Bakery, Kelsey Skin and more!

Whether it’s shopping, sipping, or simply soaking up the festive vibes, Macknade’s Christmas Market promises a weekend to remember. Visitors can also pick up their Kentish-grown Christmas tree and browse all their Macknade favourites in-store.

Stefano Cuomo, CEO for Macknade said: “We’ve always believed that great food has the power to bring people together, and our first ever Christmas Market is the perfect celebration of that spirit.

The Hop Shed will be filled with the sights, sounds and flavours of the season – from local makers to festive favourites – and we can’t wait to welcome everyone to share in the magic.”
