Traditional Christmas Craft and Gift Market
This year the craft and gift market will be even bigger
than before extending down Wheeler Gate and Albert Street.
The market stalls will enhance and complement the shops,
providing even more choice for Christmas shoppers.
If you're looking for a gift that's extra special or a
little bit different, the craft and gift market is the perfect
place to shop. The market boasts a wide range of unique
and handmade gifts, and a range of goodies to suit all pockets.
Bar area
Also featured in the Square for the first time is the new
bar area which will include a snow covered outdoor section
and an indoor 'Narnia snug' - entered through a wardrobe!
The bar will have a cosy festive feel, and serve a selection
of themed drinks, including mulled wine, spiced cider and
local ales with beers on display in firkins.
Fine Food Market
The Fine Food Market will continue to run during the festive
season, and will take place on Long Row between 16 - 20
December. This market will offer products from across the
East Midlands, including rare breed meats, pork pies, Indian
snacks, regional bottled beers, specially blended and flavoured
teas and coffees, smoked fish and regional cheeses.
Festive Entertainment
In Old Market Square there will be a selection of children's
rides including a carousel and reindeer ride.
A programme of entertainment including choirs, traditional
music and street entertainers will perform during late night
shopping to make the atmosphere even more festive.
