Christmas

Plan a festive visit to the Braintree district this Christmas with live music entertainment, high street shopping, Christmas markets, fantastic food & drink, family activities and more throughout the winter season.

Not only are there great events and activities, but it's the perfect place for Christmas shopping too - with high street brands lined up alongside unique, independent stores in all our surrounding high streets and villages.

From visiting Santa Claus, making your own Christmas decorations, craft activities, light switch on events or enjoying some good street food, mulled wine and buying bespoke gifts at Christmas markets - there’s plenty to do to boost your Christmas spirit. 

See the list of events below.
