Early Bird Offer: Presents Galore tickets now on sale - for just £6

Billed as ‘East Anglia’s most magical Christmas fair’, Presents Galore is back for 2025 - and Early Bird tickets are now on sale

A festive fixture for almost three decades, Presents Galore is among East Anglia’s biggest and best Christmas fairs - and it’s back for 2025, running for three days, November 28 to 30, at Newmarket’s iconic Rowley Mile Racecourse.

As well as offering unrivalled shopping and festive spirit, the event raises tens of thousands annually for great local causes: in 2024 alone, more than £65,000 went to Cambridge Children’s Hospital, Newmarket Charitable Foundation and the National Horseracing Museum. With 100% of ticket proceeds donated, all three charities will benefit again this year.

The even better news? Tickets are now on sale - and if you book this month, you can bag yours for just £6! To take advantage of the Early Bird offer, which runs until August 31 2025, visit presentsgalore.org

Say organisers: “Visitors can expect a feel-good shopping experience filled with festive charm, while supporting a wide array of local and independent businesses. This year, we’re excited to welcome even more new stalls and traders, offering the biggest selection yet of unique gifts and seasonal treats.”

New for 2025 is an exclusive VIP Evening on Friday, November 28, starting at 8pm after the main stalls close. Guests will be welcomed with a glass of fizz and handmade canapés, followed by a captivating talk from Mrs Julie Spence OBE CStJ QPM, Lord-Lieutenant of Cambridgeshire. A pioneer in British policing and a powerful advocate for women in leadership, Julie will be in conversation with BBC Cambridgeshire presenter Chris Mann, followed by an audience Q&A.

Returning for 2025 are the finalists of this year’s Young Trader Competition, showcasing the region’s brightest emerging talent. Finalists will exhibit in a dedicated area, following its success last year, alongside over 120 handpicked boutique stalls, creating a truly special shopping experience.
