Unwrap the magic of the season in the heart of Royal Deeside.
We’re delighted to announce that the Glen Tanar Christmas Fair will return in 2026! After a record breaking event in 2025 with around 700 visitors, we can’t wait to welcome you back for an even bigger and brighter celebration.

Get in touch if you'd like to enquire about having a stall at our Christmas Fair.
Get into the Christmas spirit with a day of shopping, creativity and local flavour, all set within the historic Glen Tanar Ballroom and the surrounding grounds. Over thirty local makers and small businesses will be joining us, offering everything from handcrafted jewellery and candles to art, ceramics, soaps, pet gifts, and seasonal homeware.
You’ll also find a mouth-watering choice of food and drink from local producers. Warm up with a cup of mulled wine or hot chocolate, sample freshly baked festive treats, and pick up gourmet goodies to take home for the holidays.
Alongside the stalls, this year’s fair features the return of The Seed Box Ltd Christmas Tree Market, and lots of family-friendly activities.
Bring the scent and sparkle of Christmas home with a visit to the Walled Garden, where The Seed Box Ltd will be selling a stunning selection of real trees.
This year’s fair brings together some of the North East’s most talented artisans and small businesses. Every stall offers something unique — from handmade crafts and jewellery to locally produced foods and cosy winter accessories. It’s the perfect opportunity to discover new makers and find gifts that tell a story.
Jewellery | Candles | Art | Ceramics | Soaps | Food and Drink (& coffee!) | Pet Gifts | Accessories | Decorations | Christmas Gifts & More!
No Christmas Fair is complete without delicious food and drink. Enjoy warming mulled wine, fresh coffee and festive bakes while you browse, or stop by one of the outdoor food stalls for something hearty to eat on the go. There’ll be plenty of flavours to tempt every taste.

We love welcoming your four-legged friends — especially when they arrive in their festive jumpers! Well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome to join the festivities and soak up the atmosphere. It's the perfect opportunity to explore the grounds of Glen Tanar, too, with plenty of walks (and smells!) around the estate.
Make a weekend of it and stay in one of our cosy Glen Tanar cottages — perfect for winter walks, fireside evenings and starlit skies.
