See Above Bar Street transformed into an unmissable festive wonderland of fun and entertainment, complete with glittering lights, hot and refreshing drinks, delicious food, and alpine chalets with over 30 independent vendors offering unique hand-made gifts for a spot of Christmas shopping.
The market will also feature the UK's tallest Ferris wheel and a fantastic selection of exhilarating rides for the whole family to enjoy. Rumour has it that Santa himself will be making special weekend appearances to celebrate the holiday cheer.
