Christmas Market & Lights Switch-On 2026
Our Christmas season begins with local traders, crafts, festive food and drink and the first chance to see the 2026 Tottington Manor Christmas lights switched on. The building and gardens become part of the event, with the Manor glowing against the dark South Downs evening.
The first festive night of the season
Browse gifts from local traders and craftspeople, meet friends over a festive drink and see the Manor fully illuminated for Christmas. TERRA Restaurant is expected to be busy, so anyone wanting dinner should reserve separately.
Useful answers before you book
Do I need a ticket?
Entry is free, but Tottington Manor asks visitors to book an approximate arrival time.
Can we eat at TERRA Restaurant on the same evening?
Yes, subject to availability. Restaurant bookings should be made separately and early because the lights switch-on evening is expected to be busy.
Is parking available?
Parking arrangements apply on site; follow the booking and pre-arrival information for the event.
