With the market situated in the town centre, it is perfect for access by train, bus or taxi and with a dedicated bar – ‘The Jingle Inn’, you can come down and relax while soaking up the Christmas atmosphere alongside a range of food vendors offering Christmas-themed treats!
Don’t expect generic and expensive items – support the community with quality and inexpensive and special gifts.
