Celebrate Sinterklaas at The Duke William Christmas Market

Saturday 6th December marks Sinterklaas, the much-loved Dutch tradition when Saint Nicholas brings gifts and sweet treats for children. We’re bringing some of that seasonal magic to The Duke William with our very own Christmas Market.

Join us for a festive afternoon in the heart of Ickham between 11am–4pm. Shop small and support local traders, pick up festive treats and gifts, and enjoy live music with Miss Holiday Swing between 2–4pm. Warm up round the winter BBQ between 12–4pm, or head to the outside bar for festive winter warmers. Take part in our Christmas raffle in support of Pilgrims Hospice, and don’t miss Sinterklaas spreading festive cheer and goodies for the little ones.

Bring family and friends and soak up the festive spirit — there’s something for everyone to enjoy! If you are dining in the pub, we highly recommend booking a table to secure your spot.
