This year the Christmas market will not only be based at Grey’s Monument but also extended to Blackett Street and Northumberland Street, with the markets starting on Saturday 16 November 2019. Shopping stalls and attractions will be open until Tuesday 24 December 2019, while the street food and drink offering will remain open until New Year’s Eve.
There will be over 70 market stalls; bringing a great variety to the city. The independent traders have been carefully chosen in order to offer the best in quality and diversity of offer. There will be something for everyone including artisan cheeses, homemade chutneys, mead, jewellery, scents, fashion, retro style, eco art and home accessories to offer the discerning visitor.
Not to mention the mouth-watering food on offer… expect gourmet ingredients and a taste of Europe. Visitors will be able to delight their taste buds with a currywurst from Germany, waffles from Holland, paella from Spain and crepes – both sweet and savoury from France plus a whole lot more!
