Know Before You Go

  • Hours: Saturday: midday to 5pm. The Christmas Lights are switched on at dusk. No time is stated for Sunday's indoor market.

Tips & Advice

  • Stay until dusk on the Saturday, when the town's Christmas lights are switched on and Father Christmas makes his appearance.
  • Expect the High Street to be closed to traffic all day, so plan to walk into the centre from wherever you leave the car.
  • Visit both floors of the Town Hall, since the indoor market spreads across upstairs and downstairs as well as the outdoor stalls.
  • Come back on Sunday if you missed anything, because the indoor market in the Town Hall carries on into the second day.
  • Bring your Christmas list, because the stalls come from small local crafters, independent traders and charities, and the market avoids duplicating stalls.
