Sandringham Christmas Fair & Thursford

This very special weekend combines two of East Anglia's top festive attractions
Come and join the Christmas fun with the Friday evening performance of the UK's largest Christmas Show - the ever popular Thursford Christmas Spectacular! Non-stop singing, dancing, music, humour and variety with its fast moving celebration of seasonal and year round favourites. A fantastic cast of 130 singers, dancers and musicians, many of whom perform in London's West End, set the stage alight in this 3 hour extravaganza set in the magical surroundings of mechanical organs & fairground carousels. Add to this fabulous decorations and twinkling lights and you can truly understand why Thursford is recognised as the largest Christmas Show in the country! Then get your Christmas shopping sorted at the excellent Sandringham Christmas Craft, Food & Gift Fair with hundreds of craftsmen and women selling all manner of jewellery, artwork, traditional and modern gifts and speciality food and drink. If that's not enough to make your taste buds tingle, then take home some Christmas menu ideas from the chefs performing in the Country Kitchen.
