THE Glastonbury Abbey Christmas Market is set to return later this year, with organisers confirming the dates for the popular festive event.
The market will be held at Glastonbury Abbey on Saturday, November 28 and Sunday, November 29, 2026, alongside the town's annual Glastonbury Frost Fayre.
Organisers have now launched a call for traders, inviting artists, makers and independent businesses to apply for a stall within the historic abbey grounds.
In a social media announcement, the abbey said: "Calling all makers and traders! Would you like to showcase your work in the magical surroundings of Glastonbury Abbey this winter?"
The market has become a popular fixture in Somerset's festive calendar, with organisers saying 14,000 visitors attended across the weekend in 2025.
Artists and makers are particularly being encouraged to apply for this year's event, which takes place against the backdrop of the abbey's historic ruins.
The market runs in conjunction with the annual Frost Fayre celebrations, which traditionally attract thousands of visitors to Glastonbury and feature festive entertainment, shopping and community activities across the town.
Previous markets at the abbey have featured dozens of artisan traders selling gifts, crafts, food and drink, while visitors have been able to explore the abbey grounds free of charge during the festive weekend.
Applications are now open for traders wishing to take part in the 2026 event, with organisers urging anyone with "something special to share for Christmas" to submit an application.
The deadline for applications is Sunday, November 1.
More information and trader applications can be found via the Glastonbury Abbey website.
