Delicious food and drink
If you’re looking to buy food and drink as Christmas gifts, or for something special to enjoy over the festive season, then you’ll be spoilt for choice at our Christmas Markets. There will be a great selection of fresh produce including local meat, fruit, veg, cakes, bread and savouries. You’ll also be able shop for chocolates, preserves and sauces or for locally produced cider and beer.
You’ll also find stalls selling pet food and accessories as well as household goods, for all those essential purchases.
Great gift ideas
Many of our stallholders will be selling items which are perfect for unusual, unique and beautiful gifts. Such as hand printed cards, prints, illustrations and photos – many of local scenes. There will also be a terrific selection of hand crafted jewellery, glassware, ceramics and ornaments.
Some of our antiques market traders will also be attending the market selling jewellery, vintage books, ceramics and collectibles. These are a great idea for an unique and usual gift – and a sustainable approach to Christmas gift-buying too.
You’ll be able to find clothing and accessories at the markets, including knitted hats and scarves, tartan accessories as well as beautiful bags.
Plants are also a great idea for a present and we’ll have the usual beautiful display of plants under the Guildhall along with stalls selling flowers, wreaths and garlands. There will also be stalls selling soaps, candles, room diffusers and toiletries, perfect for Christmas present ideas!
