62 indoor Christmas markets in the UK, 60 with 2026 dates confirmed by their organisers. The first to open is Spirit of Christmas Fair, on Monday 2 November.

Markets where the organiser says some or all of the stalls are indoors: in a hall, a cathedral, a museum or a house. Where only part of a market is inside, its own page says so.

**None open this weekend** (17 and 18 October 2026). Next to open: [Spirit of Christmas Fair](https://bestchristmasmarkets.co.uk/markets/spirit-of-christmas-olympia/), on Monday 2 November 2026.
