Craig y Nos Country Park is embracing the magic of the season with its annual Christmas Fayre, running from 6–21 December. Set within one of the most scenic corners of Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park, the event offers gentle festive moments for visitors looking to unwind, explore the park and enjoy a winter day out.
Visitors can follow the decorated routes, discover handcrafted wooden reindeer dotted around the grounds, and enjoy the park’s peaceful landscapes dressed for Christmas. With its woodland paths, open spaces and easy access for families, the Christmas Fayre is designed to offer a relaxed, seasonal experience throughout the month.
A Seasonal Experience in a Much-Loved Setting
Rather than a single-day market, Craig y Nos Country Park’s December fayre is a longer celebration that invites visitors to drop in at any time between 10.30am–4.30pm daily. The highlight for many is the charming outdoor trail of wooden reindeer—each one handcrafted, individually styled and placed throughout the park’s meadows and woodland edges.
The fayre complements existing winter walks and nature routes around the park, making it an ideal outing for families, dog walkers, and anyone looking for a dose of festive cheer without the rush of busier markets. The café and facilities remain open, giving visitors the chance to warm up with refreshments between strolls.
Perfect for Families, Nature Lovers and December Day Trips
Craig y Nos Country Park continues to be one of the most accessible and welcoming outdoor spaces in the southern area of the National Park. The Festive Fayre adds something extra for December: a chance to enjoy light-touch Christmas fun in a beautiful heritage landscape.
Whether you’re planning a family day out, looking for an easy festive walk, or simply want to experience a quieter side of the Christmas season, the fayre offers a gentle, atmospheric backdrop for winter visits.
