Festive Farmyard Fun at Standalone Farm

As the holiday season approaches, there's no better way to get into the festive spirit than by visiting Standalone Farm in Letchworth this December. This charming farm, nestled in the beautiful Hertfordshire countryside, is set to host a Christmas Market that promises a delightful experience for the entire family.

One thing you won’t get at other Christmas Markets is farmyard friends and tractors! At our Christmas Market, families can get up close and personal with furry and feathered friends, explore the yard or even experience a festive feeding session.

Standalone Farm will be adorned with twinkling lights and a festive tractor display, creating a magical atmosphere that will transport you into a winter wonderland. Bundle up in your cosiest sweaters and enjoy musical performances from local band Singing Cactus and Letchworth City Chorus, sample festive food from lots of stalls courtesy of the organisers of Hitchin Street Food Monthly, and browse our stands selling gifts, jewellery, soaps, children’s clothes and more.

Tickets start at just £5! Book tickets at https://standalonefarm.com/
