Prestige County Events is an independent, family-run events company creating high-quality seasonal fairs, markets and craft shows across Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk.

Led by husband-and-wife team Darren and Victoria, the company draws on more than 25 years of combined experience across events, marketing, advertising and publishing. Our careers have included work connected with some of the world’s most recognisable sporting and lifestyle events, alongside campaigns for international organisations and brands including BMW, Microsoft, Adidas and Oxfam.

This breadth of experience is matched by a genuine understanding of independent businesses. From established regional brands to talented makers, artisan producers and new start-ups, we work closely with our stallholders and partners to create events that are professional, welcoming and commercially successful.

Prestige County Events launched in 2022 with the Essex & Suffolk County Christmas Fair, a sold-out debut, single day event, that welcomed more than 2,000 visitors. Since then, the company has grown rapidly, developing a respected programme of multi-day county fairs, craft shows and community markets. Our largest events now bring together more than 150 carefully selected stallholders and attract over 10,000 visitors.

Today, we work with remarkable venues and hundreds of independent businesses across East Anglia. Our portfolio includes county Christmas fairs in Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk, the Essex County Craft Show and the monthly Christchurch Park Market in Ipswich, alongside special partnerships and event collaborations.

At the heart of everything we do is a simple ambition: to bring people, independent businesses and exceptional venues together. We want every event to offer visitors a memorable day out, give stallholders a valuable platform from which to grow, and leave our venue and community partners proud to be involved.

With new events and partnerships already being developed for the years ahead, Prestige County Events continues to grow while remaining committed to the personal service, careful planning and attention to detail on which its reputation has been built.
