Christmas Tours from Salisbury: Festive Markets, Stonehenge & the Magic of Wiltshire

Sebastiano Morabito • June 7, 2026

Christmas Markets and Heritage & Stone Tours

There's something special about Wiltshire in winter. Frost on the standing stones, festive lights along ancient streets, and the warm scent of mulled wine drifting through Georgian market squares. This Christmas, Heritage & Stone Tours is bringing it all together with a collection of private, driver-guided day tours — each one pairing the county's most-loved heritage with the season's finest Christmas markets.


Every tour is private and exclusive to your group, with per-tour pricing (not per person), flexible pick-up to suit you, and a knowledgeable local guide who tailors the day to your interests. Whether you're a couple looking for a romantic festive escape, a family making memories, or a small group enjoying a Christmas day out, there's an option to suit.


Here's what's on offer this season.


Bath Christmas Market & Lacock - Private Group Tour

Thursday 26 November – Sunday 13 December 2026


Begin your day in Lacock, a National Trust village so beautifully preserved it has starred in
Harry Potter, Pride and Prejudice and Downton Abbey. Wander its honey-stone cottages and unspoilt streets, with an optional visit to Lacock Abbey — the birthplace of photography and a Hogwarts filming location.


From there, travel on to one of the country's largest and best-loved Christmas markets. Over 170 twinkling wooden chalets line the Georgian streets around Bath Abbey, filled with handmade gifts, local crafts, mulled wine and festive treats. Arrive in time to enjoy the market in daylight and stay to watch the lights begin to glow.


A relaxed 8–10 hour day, with flexible pick-up and drop-off from Salisbury, Bath, Southampton or London.


This tour is available to book now.
