Cllr Clare Pritchard, Cabinet Member for Markets, said; “We’re really pleased to announce our plans for a series of Christmas Markets to run during December in front of Accrington’s historic Market Hall. These seasonal markets will help promote local traders selling festive food, drink and goods including art and toys, to Hyndburn folk and people right across the region, looking for some Christmas cheer and gifts. So we’re asking traders to apply for space on the markets now, to join in the festive fun and help make this a prosperous Christmas to remember in Accrington town centre.”
Cllr Pritchard added; “We’ve got lots going on to get people feeling festive in Accrington this year and these all new Christmas Markets are set to complement a range of other seasonal events in the town, including the ever popular Santa’s Grotto in the Market Hall and the reindeer parade on Broadway on 7th December.
Cllr Pritchard concluded; “There will be 10 Chalet type stalls available for rent and space for some gazebos during December, we’re expecting plenty of applications, so it’ll be first come, first served, with only two of any similar trade on each day.”
The Christmas Markets will be held on Thursday 5th, Saturday 7th, Thursday 12th, Saturday 14th, Thursday 19th, Saturday 21st and Monday 23rd December. To apply for a gazebo at £10 per day, or a chalet at £15 per day, on the Christmas Markets visit www.hyndburnbc.gov.uk or call 01254 388111. Closing date for applications is 15th November 2013.
