We'll be there in the Market Place with everyone from Hexham Farmers' Market 😍

It's Hexham Christmas Market this Saturday (13th Dec) with over 130 stalls ranging from delicious local produce to unique gifts to buy straight from the maker.

Hexham Christmas Market is an annual event created by Hexham Farmers' Market, Hexham Abbey and Hexham Community Partnership.

WHERE IS THE MARKET?
Right at the heart of Hexham in and around the Abbey
OUTSIDE STALLS In the Market Place, Cloister Lawn and the Refectory Garden
INDOOR STALLS In Hexham Abbey and its Priory Buildings

GETTING HERE
This will be a very busy day for Hexham, so we'd recommend using public transport to get here if you can. Hexham has a train station on the line between Newcastle and Carlisle. You can also get buses right to the centre of town.

PARKING
You may find this page on parking from Northumberland County Council useful
https://www.northumberland.gov.uk/parking/parking-locations/hexham-car-parks

That page doesn't, however, give details on a large, (new-ish) overflow public car park behind Hexham's Travelodge with all day bays.

There is also a large private car park at Maiden's Walk, which can be very useful on a busy day for visitors. Please note that parking here is payable and there is no option to pay by cash. We'd strongly advise paying online for parking here, so that you have proof of payment.

The heart of the town centre will be very busy, so please avoid using Beaumont Street & Market Street if you can.

EXPLORING HEXHAM
Hexham has a lot to offer besides the Christmas Market with lots of independent shops, cafes and restaurants (do book in advance if you want a sit down meal).

The Visit Hexham website has guides on where to eat and drink https://visithexham.com/where-to-eat-and-drink-in-hexham/ and where to shop https://visithexham.com/shopping-in-hexham-northumberland/

Our free windows gift trail is running until 20th Dec. 44 businesses where you can buy gifts and/or vouchers for Christmas are taking part this year https://visithexham.com/2025/11/21/hexham-christmas-windows-trail-2025/

You could also see a film at the Art Deco Forum Cinema or book a great value family theatre trip at the Queen's Hall

We hope to see you on Saturday. It really is the most wonderful time of the year!

To make our delicious spread, we firstly gently roast our hazelnuts until the natural oils are released and then process them to make a hazelnut butter. This is put into our stone grinder with our special sweetner, Palmyra Blossom Nectar and raw cacao powder. We then grind it for a few hours to make a very smooth paste and to allow the wonderful flavours to amalgamate with each other.

Our spread is named Edesia after the Roman goddess of gourmet food. Edesia connects our product back to Italy where it all started and also embodies the essence of our gourmet product.

With its deep taste of roasted hazelnuts, the rich flavour of cacao and the wonderful sweetness of Palmyra Blossom Nectar you can enjoy it on many foods. We like it on buckwheat pancakes, coconut yoghurt, fruit, sourdough toast or just straight out of the jar!

We'd love to know your favourite ways to use Edesia for breakfast, snacks or dessert. Please tag us so we can share!
