Late Night Christmas Shopping

Late night Xmas shopping in Devon is about carol singers, twinkling lights, hot toddies and Christmas cheer … as well as ticking off some gifts from your list.

Lots of Devon’s towns, villages and cities will be decking the streets in the upcoming weeks so you can get in the Christmas mood whilst buying lovely presents from both independent and well-known shops.

Here are 5 of the most popular favourite late night Xmas shopping spots - but follow the links below to find many more.

Dartmouth

November 24 &25
Candlelit Dartmouth is a weekend of festive fun that’ll totally get you into the Christmas spirit, with an appearance from Santa, the magical Candlelit Lantern procession, and lots on for kids. Expect market stalls and street entertainment as well as late night shopping – the Old Market craft stalls and Christmas markets in Royal Avenue Gardens are will offer some great gift ideas. Traditionally on the Saturday, Dartmouth’s Candlelit Lantern procession lights the streets with hundreds of willow and tissue lanterns created by children and families in the area.

Exeter

Thursdays from November 30 to December 21
Exeter’s late night shopping events are focussed on Thursdays, though many shops in the centre extend their opening hours on other days too around Christmas. Much of the Thursday night festive fun happens around the modern Princesshay shopping area – there’ll be a great welcome from street entertainers including acrobats, musical entertainers and dancers, particularly on November 30 and 7th December.
