Fox Valley adds some Christmas sparkle with a Festive Market and a visit from Santa this weekend
2 December 2025
The centre’s iconic Christmas Reindeer is back and sparkling and Fox Valley is looking more seasonal than ever as the festivities get underway.
The Christmas celebrations continue this Saturday and Sunday (December 6th and 7th), when Fox Valley will host a Festive Market featuring local traders, seasonal food, and family entertainment.
The market will run from 10am–3pm each day, giving visitors the chance to pick up unique gifts and enjoy a festive day out – and Santa will also be making an appearance.
Stalls will include Gifts of Love, Matt Corker Art, Bake & Butty, Christmas Trees Sheffield, Cand & Co, Stocksbridge Aromatherapy, Samosafield, Greek Olives, and Dark Peak Graphics.
Families can enjoy free face painting, and children can visit Santa in his Grotto between 12pm and 3pm on both days.
The Grotto is run by the Wortley Rotary Club, with entry costing £5 per child and all proceeds supporting local charities.
Festive meet and greet characters will also be making an appearance throughout the weekend.
With independent traders, family activities, and seasonal entertainment, the Festive Market offers a relaxed and welcoming start to the Christmas season.
Claire Biltcliffe, Centre Manager at Fox Valley, said: “We’re delighted to be hosting our Festive Market this weekend, bringing the community together for a weekend of Christmas-themed family fun.”
