As we head into the holiday month of December, it’s a fine time to explore some Christmas markets and other festive activities with a gorgeous Kent escort. You are spoiled for choice when it comes to fun festive venues in Kent. Whether you’re seeking a romantic setting for a winter date with your Kent companion, or are seeking to treat her with special gifts, we’ve got you covered. Read on to see our top recommendations for Christmas markets and other romantic spots to bring your Kent escort this holiday season. 

Christmas Markets 

Let’s start this off with our favourite Kent Christmas markets. Take note of opening times when planning your date with your escort. Some markets will be open later than others and all usually close by 8pm or 9pm at the latest. 

Rochester Christmas Market 

Running every Friday to Sunday from November 29 to December 15. Latest market closing is 9pm on Fridays and Saturdays.

The beloved Rochester Christmas Market is now in its 15th year of running. It features an array of market stalls with handmade gifts, a food village where you can refuel and warm up with some delicious bites, and a funfair which steals the attention of children and families. With free entry, you and your escort can walk right in with no worries and enjoy as much or as little Christmas shopping as you desire. We mentioned that the funfair is geared towards children, but there’s no reason you can’t enjoy the view from the ferris wheel with your stunning companion. 

Canterbury Christmas Market 

Running from November 15 to December 24. Market stalls are open all days of the week. Latest market closing is 6pm Monday to Saturday. 

Canterbury Christmas Market is one of the largest markets in the South East with over 150 stallholders. If you’re looking to buy something special for your escort, this is the place to go as you two will be presented with so many options from hand-made ornaments to festive desserts. This market also features a variety of events which adults can find enjoyment in, so be sure to check the website and see if anything captures your fancy. 

Faversham Christmas Market 

Running on December 14 and 15. 

The Faversham Christmas Market is a perfect opportunity to give your stunning escort a delicate piece of hand made jewelry or other uniquely special item. It’s easy for a man to find a generic piece of jewelry or box of chocolates, so you’ll truly stand out to your lovely companion when you present her with something uniquely hers. The market also features some local food stalls so you two can grab a cup of coffee or hot chocolate to hold as you walk around the artisan stalls. You may also want to treat your lady or even yourself to some delectable dessert gifts. 

Other Christmas Date Ideas That Your Escort Will Love 

The Christmas markets in Kent are a special treat and popular yearly event, but they aren’t for everyone, and that’s okay! There’s plenty of other activities you and your escort can enjoy during the holiday season. We have included activities that run much later into the evening, but some venues will still close fairly early, so make sure to double check the opening times in your planning. 

Hever Castle Events

Events running from November 22 to January 3. Latest exit is 8:30pm. 

Hever Castle has been running Christmas events for the past 10 years and is a beloved Christmas staple of Kent. Because of its popularity among locals and tourists alike, tickets must be purchased beforehand and you are presented with a specific time slot to enter the castle grounds in. You can visit during the day or evening, with both times offering different events and different ticket prices. We recommend booking twilight tickets (4pm and later) to see Hever Castle lit up in a spectacular lights show. Cuddle up with your Kent companion on the castle grounds as you sit back and enjoy the castle’s theatrics. 

Scotney Castle Events 

Scotney Castle has three main Christmas events to choose from which vary from pure entertainment to dining bookings. Make sure to book your desired event in advance if needed as tickets are limited and popular. Scotney Castle’s most popular event is its Late Nights & Lights twilight openings. Explore a stunning light show inside and outside the main house and embrace the romantic energy with your sweet companion. 

Their Christmas Lunch takes place in the Coach House tea-room which provides a royal and romantic setting for you and your stunning companion. The Curtain Up event has free entry with no booking required where you can explore the Scotney House and enjoy festive performances. 

Abode Hotel Events 

If you’re coming to Kent from out of town, we recommend booking your accommodation at the Abode Hotel for its festive events that you and your companion can partake in. You and your escort have a variety of options available for Christmas themed activities. That is of course in addition to simply enjoying the room that you have booked… 

Our favourites on offer at this hotel are a festive afternoon tea, and festive parties that run late into the night. For some real adult fun during this traditionally family oriented time of year, you and your Kent escort can book a delicious three course meal, and party till midnight from the music of a skilled DJ during a festive party. If you’re still in town at New Years, the Abode Hotel hosts a New Year’s Eve party which is filled with delectable food and live music going late into the evening. 

Hythe Imperial Events 

Another luxurious accommodation option during your Kent stay is the Hythe Imperial which has a whole array of Christmas themed events you can book. This includes reservations for events after the big holiday like their popular Private Dining Boxing Day Lunch. Just make sure to plan ahead of time as these events get booked fast, with some already sold out. You and your escort can get down on the dancefloor with some dirty moves during a Sunday Night Festive Party which runs all the way to midnight. 

That concludes our guide on where to take your Kent escort this Christmas. Remember that you can always ask your companion for recommendations as your escort is a Kent local who knows the best spots and deals around. We hope this list has been helpful with some romantic ideas for your Christmas time in Kent.
