Mercatum Update - for December 7th 2024

It has been decided by the senior management of Haddon Hall that due to all the UK weather agencies predicting extreme weather conditions tomorrow afternoon in our local area due to Storm Darragh, we have no other option but to cancel the afternoon session of Mercatum for the security and safety of all.

This is obviously a great disappointment for everyone and we apologise for the inconvenience caused. Where possible, we are transferring tickets - please email the team with your booking reference at admin@haddonhall.co.uk, who are working round the clock to transfer your tickets to an available date next week.

We expect to return to normal opening hours for both the morning and afternoon sessions of our Mercatum market on Sunday 8th December.
