Monday 7 December is Sant'Ambrogio, Milan's patron saint day and a holiday in the city, which makes it a good excuse for a Milan Sant'Ambrogio day trip, mostly because the flight is cheap on the day itself and silly the day after.
Stansted to Bergamo was £54 on our calendar for Mon 7 Dec, £57 for Sun 6 Dec and £208 for Tue 8 Dec.
Flight only, rounded to the pound, looked at on 9 Nov. The 8th is the Immaculate Conception, another Italian holiday, and the fare knows it, so we'd do the Monday.
Out of Stansted, early
The cheapest Milan trip on the board right now is a Monday in mid December, not the 7th. It leaves Stansted at 07:30, gives you 7.1 hours in the city and costs £85.00 for the whole day with the transfer and ground costs in, checked 9 Nov. Times for the 7th will be different, so look at the day you want on the Stansted to Milan Bergamo board.

Bergamo, then the long bit
Bergamo airport is 50km from the centre and the board says to allow plenty of time for it. The 7.1 hours already has that taken off, so it's real time on the ground.
The fair round the castle
Oh Bej Oh Bej is the Sant'Ambrogio fair, around the Castello Sforzesco, and it's free to walk through. Last year it ran 5 to 8 December. This year's dates weren't announced anywhere we could find on 9 Nov and a couple of event calendars say 7 to 10 December, so treat the 7th as your day and check before you book.
The Duomo and the Galleria
Piazza del Duomo and the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II sit next to each other and cost nothing to walk round, which matters when the day already costs £85.00. La Scala opens its season on the 7th as well.
Getting home
Work this one backwards. On the cheapest trip you land back in the UK late at night and the transfer to Bergamo is the bit that can go wrong, so decide when you need to leave the city before you decide anything about the fair.
More on the city itself in our day trip to Milan from the UK, and if you want the whole day priced before you book, membership is £19.00 a year at the founding price.
