Sinterklaas Christmas Market

6th December traditionally marks Sinterklaas, the much-loved Dutch festive tradition where the kind and generous Saint Nicholas arrives bearing gifts and sweet treats for children. We’re bringing some of that seasonal magic to The Duke William with our very own Christmas Market.
We’re now taking applications for small and local businesses to hold a stall—vendors will be carefully selected to offer visitors a varied and high-quality market experience. £35 per stall, a great opportunity to boost your sales before Christmas. Apply for a stall here. Closing date to apply is Friday 26th September—don’t miss out!
Whether you’re planning to visit or would like to share your perfect locally crafted gifts, stocking fillers, and festive treats as a stallholder, be part of this magical festive day!
