The Christmas Cotswold Fair

Four days of festive shopping from over 220 independent brands and makers, on the Todenham Manor Farm estate near Moreton-in-Marsh. All profits go to WellChild.

The Christmas Cotswold Fair is a four-day festive shopping fair held in a marquee on the Todenham Manor Farm estate, just outside Moreton-in-Marsh. Now in its 41st year, it brings together over 220 independent brands and makers for Christmas shopping under one roof.

All profits are donated to WellChild, the national charity for seriously ill children, which is based in Cheltenham. The organisers say the fair has raised over £1.5 million for children's charities.

The fair opens with a VIP preview evening on the Monday, then runs through the day from Tuesday to Thursday. There are workshops and demonstrations during the fair, and food and drink on site from the Potted Goose Café and Herd Café. The organisers ask visitors not to bring their own food or drink. Stallholders generally take cards, but it is worth carrying some cash.

The fair has its own entrance on the Todenham Road and is not reached through the farm shop in Todenham village. The organisers ask drivers to come through Moreton-in-Marsh and along the Todenham Road, and not to follow sat nav through the Fire Service College. The nearest railway station is Moreton-in-Marsh.
