The Essex County Christmas Fair is coming to the grounds of Boreham House for three days of festive shopping, food and entertainment.
More than 150 carefully selected independent businesses will fill heated shopping marquees and outdoor stalls with gifts, handcrafted products, Christmas decorations, fashion, homeware and artisan food and drink.
Visitors can also enjoy live music, festive performers, seasonal refreshments and a Ferris wheel. Father Christmas will make appearances around the fair throughout all three days, although there will not be a traditional grotto or individually booked Santa visits.
