Dartford Borough Council

On Friday 15th and 22nd December, Dartford’s Christmas market will be making a return, filling the High Street with festive cheer.

Find all sorts of entertainment and music throughout the day, with DJ’s and singers alongside rides to enjoy. Also, keep an eye out for everyone’s favourite Christmas mascots, who can be found roaming around the market.

With plenty of stalls to browse from, residents can find a great bargain and grab some last minute Christmas gifts just in time for the big day.

Dartford Borough Council Leader Jeremy Kite said, “The Christmas markets are a great chance to get in the Christmassy mood. With delicious festive foods and plenty of great opportunities to snatch up any gifts for family or friends, the markets are always enjoyable for all.”
