Odiham's Christmas Extravaganza is on Sunday 29 November, 1pm to 6pm. What last year's had, where to park for £1.20 and what is still to be confirmed.
Odiham’s Christmas Extravaganza is on Sunday 29 November 2026, from 1pm to 6pm. The organisers, the community group inOdiham, have put the date on their website as “an important date for your diary” and, in a post on 2 October, gave the hours: “The InOdiham Christmas Extravaganza is coming back to Odiham on Sunday 29th November, 1pm–6pm.” They are still recruiting craft stallholders, so the full programme is not out yet.
The quick answer
- Is it on this year? Yes: Sunday 29 November 2026, 1pm to 6pm, confirmed by inOdiham.
- Where: Odiham High Street, which the event takes over each year.
- Entry: neither inOdiham’s announcement nor last year’s listings mention an entry charge; last year the only tickets were to see Santa.
- Parking: Hart’s Odiham car parks cost £1.20 for up to 10 hours on a Sunday daytime.
- Still to come: the entertainment line-up, Santa tickets and any road closure.

What last year’s looked like
The 2025 Extravaganza was on Sunday 30 November, also 1pm to 6pm. Hook Parish Council’s round-up of local Christmas events that week described it taking over Odiham High Street, with lights and festive music from Basingstoke Community Radio, Cove Brass Band, the Jubilee Choir and the local schools, craft, food and drink stalls, community stalls, and many of the High Street’s shops and eateries open. Visitors could also buy tickets to see Santa. (Hook Parish Council, 26 November 2025)
The format has been steady for years. When the parish council trailed the 2022 event it listed gift, food and drinks stalls, entertainment from local school children, amateur dramatics, a brass band and a choir, fairground rides and Santa in his grotto. That year it ran from 2pm to 7pm, so the 1pm start is newer. (Hook Parish Council, 26 November 2022)
Treat the 2025 line-up as a guide, not a promise: inOdiham has not named this year’s performers.
Parking and getting there
Hart District Council runs two car parks in Odiham, Deer Park View and The Bury. On Sundays the council’s Odiham tariff is 40p for up to 30 minutes or £1.20 for up to 10 hours between 8am and 6pm, and £1.20 for up to 14 hours from 6pm. Blue Badge holders park free in any marked bay in Hart’s pay and display car parks. All of them take coins, cards or the MiPermit app. (Hart District Council, find a car park, Hart parking fees and charges 2026/27)
With the High Street given over to stalls, expect both car parks to fill early in the afternoon. Hampshire County Council has published no traffic order for the day that we could find as at 8 October. Our parking in Fleet page has every Hart tariff, and Fleet roadworks and travel lists works on the routes into Odiham.
