The Christmas Market at the Stud Farm, christened Santa's Stables, has become the unmissable event for the end-of-year celebrations in Côtes-d'Armor. Every December, the century-old stables of the Haras National de Lamballe are transformed into a magical Christmas village. The historic stalls, usually occupied by horses, become showcases for creators and artisans who exhibit their treasures.
Approximately one hundred local creators and artisans participate in the event, offering a rich and varied selection: jewelry, ceramics, textiles, handmade toys, Christmas decorations, gourmet products, and thousands of gift ideas. Artists, artisans, and creators share the stalls of the century-old stables, transformed into treasure boxes. Visitors can also enjoy crepes, galettes, mulled wine, and other seasonal delicacies.
The entertainment program includes equestrian demonstrations, pony rides for children, carriage rides in the illuminated park, and a stage show. The highlight is the arrival of Santa Claus on the terraces of the Stud Farm, on the opening Friday evening at 6:30 PM, to distribute candy and pose for photos with children.

The event takes place over two consecutive weekends in December, offering visitors several opportunities to stroll through the main alley of the stud farm, hunt for rare finds, and savor the Christmas atmosphere in this unique heritage setting in Brittany.
