Know Before You Go

- Hours: 10am - 3pm.
- Parking: There are various car parks around town. Parking is free; check signage for time restrictions.
Tips & Advice
- Wrap up warm, because the market and entertainment are outdoors across the High Street, Bowen Square, Foundry Walk and Sheaf Street.
- Take the children straight to the High Street to see Santa in his sleigh, as you don't need an appointment.
- Park in one of the town car parks rather than driving into the centre, because High Street and Sheaf Street are closed all day.
- Check the parking signs where you leave your car, because parking is free but some car parks have time limits.
- If you want a stall, deal only with the council's Events Officer, because scam accounts on social media offer fake pitches.
