Christmas is coming to Fleet – and it’s going to be magical!
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Get ready for a wonderful day of festive fun as Fleet Christmas Festival 2026 returns on Wednesday 25th November.
Whether you’re on the hunt for that perfect Christmas present, looking to soak up the festive atmosphere, or simply fancy a fun-filled day out with family and friends, there’ll be plenty to make you smile.
With music filling the air and Christmas cheer all around, Fleet will be transformed into a wonderfully festive place to be.
With more than 100 stalls filling Fleet High Street, the town centre will be bursting with Christmas cheer. From unique gifts and festive treats to beautiful crafts and plenty of seasonal inspiration, you’re sure to find something special – including those all-important presents for the people who are notoriously difficult to buy for!
So, why not make a start on your Christmas shopping, support local businesses, and discover some wonderful gifts along the way?
And there’s plenty of magic in store for our younger visitors too. The fantastic Kids’ Zone will be packed with entertainment and activities to keep our little elves happy and busy, while Santa himself will be taking a well-earned break from his busy Christmas preparations to welcome children into his very own Santa’s Grotto at The Harlington.
Bring the little ones along, let them share their Christmas wishes with Santa, and enjoy some magical festive memories together. And while the children are having fun, parents can relax and enjoy a festive drink too – the bar will be open, so why not raise a glass to Christmas while the kids meet the man himself!
Back out in the town centre, the festive fun continues, with a full-sized stage, live music, carol singers from local schools, a mobile farm, entertainment, and plenty more to enjoy.
With music filling the air and Christmas cheer all around, Fleet will be transformed into a wonderfully festive place to be.
But Fleet Christmas Festival is about much more than Christmas lights, shopping, and mince pies. It’s about Fleet coming together and celebrating what makes our community so special.
Local businesses, community groups, charities, performers, and a dedicated team of volunteers all play an important part in bringing this much-loved event to life. It’s a fantastic opportunity to support the brilliant businesses that make our town centre special, discover something new, meet up with friends, and enjoy a good old-fashioned community Christmas celebration. So, dig out those Christmas jumpers, round up the family, gather your friends, and make a day of it!
Come along and browse the wonderful stalls. Stay for the entertainment. Visit Santa. Sing along to the carols. Enjoy the music, have some festive fun – and leave feeling well and truly Christmassy!
Fleet Christmas Festival 2026 – put the sparkle into Fleet this Christmas – and put a little extra sparkle into you and those you love.
