Tips & Advice
- Groups planning a stall should register on the website now and check their login works, because market sign-up from 14 October 2026 needs that account.
- Sign up as soon as registration opens, because space is limited and later applicants go on a waiting list once the market is full.
- If your group has no market stand of its own, rent one at cost, but remember you still handle setup, teardown and cleaning your spot.
- Take time to talk with the groups at each stall, because the day is about them sharing their causes and every bit of income supports social goals.
- Dress warmly for a December day outdoors on the town hall square, especially if you plan to stay for the music and the whole program.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this Christmas market different?
It's non-commercial and run entirely by volunteers. The focus is on people in need near and far, peace, care for creation, living together without prejudice, and community. Stallholders tell visitors about their causes and their work.
Who runs the stalls, and where does the money go?
Non-profit groups, clubs, initiatives and individuals working on social engagement, peace, protecting creation or justice. All proceeds go only to each group's statutory goals or social purposes.
How can my group get a stall?
First register an account on the market's website. Then sign up for the market with those login details once registration opens on 14 October 2026. Space is limited, and a waiting list is started once the market is full.
Do I need my own stand to take part?
Each participant builds their own stand and takes care of setup, teardown and leaving their spot clean. If you don't have a stand, you can rent one for the cost.
How can I help as a volunteer?
Help is needed handing out posters and flyers, with transport, building and taking down the stage, putting up the rental stalls, laying power cables, setting up distribution boxes and finding performers.
