Christmas
Christmas is a wonderful time in the Peak District and Derbyshire; the air is fresher, hot chocolate in a village café tastes better, country pubs seem cosier and the shops and markets are filled with potential presents and festive cheer!
With so many inviting Christmas Markets and Unmissable Christmas Events, you'll be spoilt for choice on what to see and do!
Using our Itinerary Planner you can easily create your own personalised Christmas must-see list and make sure you don’t miss out on a single Christmas Market, Grotto or Christmas light switch-on! Simply click the suitcase icon under each event and it will be automatically added to your personal itinerary planner, which you can find at the top right of any of our webpages.
