Burnham Market Craft Fair

Upcoming event

15th AUGUST 2026

The Burnham Market Craft Fair will return for its 50th year at The Green on Saturday, August 15th, where a wide range of hand-crafted goods will be on sale. The first event was in 1976 and has been held annually ever since (Covid excepting!).

The fair was the brainchild of village residents the late Princess Diana's aunt, Lady Margaret Douglas-Home and Anne Cringle. From those early days it now attracts thousands of visitors and has quickly established itself as one of the most popular craft fairs not only in Norfolk but the surrounding counties.

This year being the 50th year you can expect to see lots of gold bunting and golden decorated stalls to celebrate this special year.  Profits from the fair are donated to local charities and groups. The organisers of this exciting event are Hunstanton and District Rotary, who are themselves celebrating their golden anniversary of 50 years of giving service in the community.

Visitors to Burnham Market will be able to choose from over 100 stalls holders coming together from all over the region, selling a wide range of goods. There are stalls new to the market and stalls that have been coming for over 15 years. Many of the traders are displaying jewellery, artwork, ceramics and gifts made by themselves. These are accompanied by crafted leather work and textiles, soaps and fragrances, and other natural skin products; other stalls offer various types of woodwork products, some with demonstrations. Garden sculptures are among some of the unique products with ceramic sculptures and upcycled kitchen and furniture.

Parking will be available at the playing field in Station Road (£5) or at the pay and display car park in North Street.

The village restaurants, cafes and pubs will also be open throughout the day and there will be food and drink stalls offering ice cream, a hog roast, artisan foods and more.

Market traders will be promoted via an App tagged onto the Burnham Market App providing trader contact details and products both before and after the market day.
