Everyone is invited to this day of fun and festivities. Enjoy live music, food and craft stalls… plus meet a special visitor from Lapland!

Hartford’s Christmas Elves look forward to welcoming you to the 2026 Christmas Fayre. This year’s Fayre takes place at St John’s Church and the Church Centre. Many local shops and businesses join in with the festive spirit too, so we highly recommend a visit to the village. 

Entrance to the Fayre is free for visitors. Come along to browse unique Christmas gifts, enjoy free live music and buy hot food and sweet treats. Best of all… meet a Christmas guest from Lapland! 

The Fayre is run by community volunteers, with support from Hartford Parish Council, St John’s Church and Hartford Civic Society. We welcome any time or help you can offer to support the event.
