Support Local Retailers This Christmas

Friday 10th December 2010

Christmas shoppers in Chesterfield are being asked to shop locally and support market and local retail traders this Christmas with news that we can all enjoy additional markets throughout December.

There'll be plenty of festive atmosphere and maybe a chance to grab a really unusual Christmas present from a vast array of places and stalls.

Sunday markets will start this weekend, taking place on both the 12th and 19th of December between 10am and 4pm, combining regular stallholders and a variety of Christmas crafts and gifts. Most Town Centre shops will also be open for business.

And if you're still searching for that last minute present, or maybe fruit and vegetables for Christmas Dinner, there will be a market everyday from Thursday 9th December right through until Christmas Eve.

The Market Hall stalls carry much more fresh Christmas produce and there you can find everything from meats, pies and fish through to a selection of cheeses and sweets.

On Saturday 18th December, New Square will feature Carols round the Christmas Tree with Holymoorside Brass Band and Holymoorside Choral Society there between 2.00 to 2.30 and 2.45 to 3.15.

The Council has also told us that after Christmas there will be NO Car Boot Sale on Sunday 26th December.

There will be a Market on Monday 27th December, Thursday 30 December and New Year's Eve and then normal markets will commence from Monday 2nd January.
