Every Saturday in
December we’ll have adorable live reindeer on the outdoor market to set the
Christmassy scene alongside our giant Christmas tree. They’ll be brass bands
playing traditional carols and the market will be decked out with delightful
decorations including the M&S Christmas Clock Tree. Don’t forget our free
Shop & Drop service which allows you to do all your festive shopping then
leave it in our “chiller” room until a more convenient time of day (perhaps
whilst you’re having a cup of tea!) For coach bookings over 30 customers we
will provide free mince pies and hot punch in our hospitality suite which
overlooks the spectacular 1904 market hall when booked in advance.
It’s the only place to be this Christmas.
