About This Event

Royal William Yard's Christmas markets run on six dates in December 2026 — Wednesday 2, Sunday 6, Wednesday 9, Sunday 13, Wednesday 16 and Sunday 20 December — rather than continuously. They are held at the Melville building and courtyard and at Melville Corner, with stalls from South West makers, artists and food producers. Entry is free. The Yard's restored Grade I listed naval buildings sit on the waterfront, and the Wednesday sessions run into the evening.
