Presents Galore, East Anglia’s most magical Christmas fair, is back for 2025! Early Bird tickets are now available for just £6 – join us as we kick off the festive season in style.
This beloved three-day shopping extravaganza will once again take place at the beautiful Rowley Mile Racecourse in Newmarket, Suffolk, from Friday 28th to Sunday 30th November 2025.
Visitors can expect a feel-good shopping experience filled with festive charm, while supporting a wide array of local and independent businesses. This year, we’re excited to welcome even more new stalls and traders, offering the biggest selection yet of unique gifts and seasonal treats.
A cherished part of East of England’s Christmas celebrations since 1987, Presents Galore continues to grow. New for 2025 is an exclusive VIP Evening on Friday 28th November, starting at 8pm after the main stalls close. Guests will be welcomed with a glass of fizz and handmade canapés, followed by a captivating talk from Mrs Julie Spence OBE CStJ QPM, Lord-Lieutenant of Cambridgeshire. A pioneer in British policing and a powerful advocate for women in leadership, Julie will be in conversation with BBC Cambridgeshire presenter Chris Mann, followed by an audience Q&A.
Also returning for 2025 are the finalists of this year’s Young Trader Competition, showcasing the region’s brightest emerging talent. Finalists will exhibit in a dedicated area following the success of this area last year, alongside over 120 handpicked boutique stalls, creating a truly special shopping experience. A full list of exhibitors is available at www.presentsgalore.org.
Last year, Presents Galore raised over £65,000 for local causes. This year, all proceeds – including 100% of ticket sales – will again support three incredible charities: Cambridge Children’s Hospital, Newmarket Charitable Foundation, and the National Horseracing Museum.
