Event Information
Christkindl Market Norwich is an open-air event, free for children and with a minimal fare at peak times for adults, situated right in the heart of the City of Stories. Our event transforms the beautiful Chapelfield Gardens into an Alpine village, with the aroma of festive food and drink lining the walkways, and wonderful chalets and places to explore on every corner. Musical entertainment rounds up the experience, and our partner Wildcraft Brewery's festive marquee bar invites to stay.
