This milestone year promises to be the biggest and most magical yet, with fun for the whole family – including your four-legged friends! Visitors can explore over 200 traditional stalls offering unique gifts, handmade crafts, delicious food, artisan treats, and festive fashion – perfect for ticking off your Christmas shopping list.
The weekend will be packed with live entertainment, including returning favourites like the Seaforth Highlander’s Pipes and Drums, a Tina Turner tribute, and a Meatloaf look-and-sound-alike. Plus, don’t miss the ever-popular James McKay and his Owls.
Children can enjoy the fun fair, meet Santa in his Grotto (open Saturday and Sunday, with proceeds supporting local charities via Matlock Derwent Valley Lions Club), and soak up the festive cheer with roaming performers and seasonal surprises.
The celebrations will culminate in a spectacular fireworks display on Sunday at 5:30pm, lighting up the skies above Matlock in a dazzling finale to mark three decades of Christmas magic.
