Tiptree Tea Room Christmas Fair Returns for 2024!

Update 6th December:

We’ve been closely monitoring the weather forecast for the weekend, and high winds are predicted. 

Our customers safety remains our top priority, and as a result, some of the stalls originally planned to be located outdoors will now be relocated in The Tiptree Tea Room

This means that The Tiptree Tea Room will only be open for takeaway drinks and sandwiches, with limited seating available. Unfortunately, the normal menu will not be served on this day.

Location Details:

The Christmas Fair will take place in the Tiptree Secret Garden Marquee and The Tiptree Tea Room. To enter the Christmas Fair, please follow the Christmas Fair signs, which will direct you to the back gates of the Secret Garden via the overflow car park, leading directly to the marquee entrance.

At the entrance to the fair, you’ll find My Little Habitats Trailer ready to welcome you! From there, you’ll need to pass through the museum to reach the tea room, where more lovely local stalls await. Finally, you can finish your trip in the Tiptree shop.

 

Weather Contingency Plan:
Should the weather worsen and winds reach dangerously high levels closer to the day, we’ll adapt further by hosting the market entirely within The Tiptree Tea Room. While this may result in limited space, we kindly ask for your understanding as we prioritise everyone’s safety.
In the unlikely event that the winds become too severe on the day, we may have to cancel the event. Rest assured, we will keep you updated every step of the way.

 

Important Note:
Due to the forecasted weather and restricted space, we kindly advise against bringing dogs to the event this weekend.
We’re so excited for you to join us, get into the Christmas spirit, and support all our wonderful local stalls! 🎄✨
Thank you for your understanding. We can’t wait to see you there!

 

Following the success of last year's event, we are thrilled to announce the return of the Tiptree Tea Room Christmas Fair! This festive celebration will once again be held at the Tiptree Marquee, offering a fantastic family day out.

 

Join us on Saturday, December 7th, and Sunday, December 8th, from 10 AM to 3 PM, to explore a delightful range of unique gifts from local businesses. Enjoy a cup of mulled wine with a splash of Tiptree Damson Gin Liqueur, meet Father Christmas and his cheerful Tiptree elves, and immerse yourself in the festive atmosphere.

We're thrilled to offer our Tiptree Christmas trees once again, grown on our Tiptree Farm, and available for purchase all weekend long. These home-grown trees will bring the perfect festive magic to your home.

 

The event is dog-friendly, so your furry friends are more than welcome to join in the fun. You might even find some special treats just for them!

Stay tuned for update's on stalls and additional event information. We can't wait to celebrate the festive season with you at the Tiptree Jam Shop, Tea Room & Museum in Essex (CO5 0RF).
