Ampthill Christmas FAQ
The Ampthill Christmas lights switch-on and the Christmas Craft & Shopping Fayre are the largest annual events, drawing crowds for festive entertainment and local shopping.
Ampthill’s tradition includes a festive town centre switch-on with live music, Father Christmas, and local food, followed by a craft fayre supporting community projects.
The town centre is the main hub for lights, but many residential streets and neighborhoods also decorate with festive displays worth exploring on foot.
The Christmas Craft & Shopping Fayre at Parkside Hall is the main market, and local makers often set up stalls in the town centre and at community venues.
Viewing the Christmas lights, attending the switch-on event, and browsing the craft fayre are all free or low-cost ways to enjoy the season in Ampthill.
Families enjoy the Christmas lights switch-on, craft fayre, and events featuring Father Christmas, live music, and festive food in the town centre.
