Get ready to step into a cosy winter wonderland this December: Christmas Market Under The Tent is coming to town — and it’s your invitation to a relaxed, community-driven festive celebration. On Sunday 7 December 2025, from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, the heart of Chelmsford will welcome locals and visitors alike to a marquee-style Christmas market on Church Lane.
Hosted by The Tulip, this marks the first-ever edition of their garden “stretch tent” market. Shoppers can simply turn up and soak in the festive atmosphere, explore a variety of stalls, and support a worthy cause — as stallholders are invited to donate a small amount to the mental health charity CALM in order to participate.
Expect a welcoming community feel, festive decorations, varied stalls, and the buzz of holiday energy — a perfect way to begin the countdown to Christmas in Chelmsford.
Don’t miss it — wrap up warm, bring your seasonal spirit, and head to Church Lane on 7 December!
