Winter Festival

28th November - 5th Decemberhyphen
HoVEC’s 2026 Winter Festival Finale
28 November – 5 December 2026
It’s hard to believe we’re already nearing the end of another busy year of HoVEC events! Join us as we round things off with two favourite village Christmas traditions.
 
Christmas Quiz – Saturday 28 November
Horsmonden Village Hall | Doors open 7pm | Quiz starts at 7.30pm sharp
Teams of 6–8 | £10 per person, including cheese board.
 
Get your team together for a good old-fashioned village Christmas quiz, with our fabulous quizmaster Ben Ralph, borrowed from the Halfway House. Expect a fun night with friends, drinks from the bar, plenty of questionable answers and, of course, cheese and biscuits!
 
 
 
Christmas Market – Saturday 5 December
11am–3pm | Davenport Vineyards, Hazel Street Farm, Horsmonden, TN12 8EF
Free entry – everyone welcome!
 
Join us at Davenport Vineyards for our festive Christmas Market, packed with artisan stalls, local producers, delicious food and drink, Davenport wines and entertainment for the children. A lovely opportunity to pick up some Christmas gifts, enjoy a festive treat and support local businesses along the way.
 
Getting to the Christmas Market
Davenport Vineyards is a short walk from Horsmonden Village. You can follow the walking map from the village to the vineyard, or hop on our free minibus shuttle, running between Heath Stores in the village and Davenport Vineyards from 11am throughout the event.
 
Parking is limited at the vineyard, so please use the shuttle or walk where possible.
 
PLEASE NOTE: We’d love to welcome everyone, but unfortunately dogs aren’t permitted inside the winery, so please leave them at home.
 
We look forward to celebrating the festive season with you!
