Christmas in Rutland
Step back and take time to enjoy a traditional Christmas atmosphere in Rutland, with an array of festive events and a laid back shopping experience.
The Run up to Christmas
Enjoy some of the established favourite festive events that form part of many locals annual traditions leading up to Christmas, from a Victorian Christmas Eve at Rockingham Castle, to Carols in Peterborough Cathedral or Christams eve with Santa and his reindeer in Oakham Castle to the towns Christmas Markets on 6th December in Uppingham and 10th December in Oakham.
Rutland also offers a great alternative to the chaotic Christmas shopping in a big city. Our towns of Oakham and Uppingham are abundant with shops offering personal laid back help and advice. Browse for artworks, antiques, jewellery, rugs, local produce and much more besides... don't let Christmas shopping become stressful!
If the idea of getting everything at one location sounds like a good plan, head to Gates Garden Centre, where Christmas began on 1st October and offers gift options for just about everyone; with their planting and garden related pieces, the extensive range of gifts, homes accessories, children's toys and large Christmas displays, clothing, local produce and aquatics centre.... not forgetting their magical winter wonderland grotto, which is a firm local favourite.
