MOMENTUM is growing for Droitwich’s Christmas Market which will take place in the Spa from December 7 to 13.
Around half of the stalls have already been snapped up, but more local traders selling Christmassy food and goods are still needed.
Following the success of the inaugural event last year, this year’s Christmas market is going to be bigger and better and run for ten days in the weeks leading up to Christmas.
And to give the event a boost and a festive gift to visitors to the market, members also agreed to offer free parking on the Saturday (December 12).
The Christmas market will be run by Joe Jones, from OnetoOne Events, who currently runs Droitwich’s Charter Market.
He told The Standard: “We are looking for anything quirky or Christmassy – from sweets, festive cakes, mulled wine and mince pies to trinketts, handmade jewellery and other gifts.
“We basically want anything with a Christmassy feel and are expecially looking for people who are selling something quirky – the quirkier the better.”
The organisers are also interested in hearing from people interested in singing carols or providing entertainment.
Anyone who wants to find out about the Christmas market and anyone interested in having a stall should call Mr Jones on 07866 914735.
The market will come a week after this year’s Christmas lights switch-on, which will take place on November 28 outside St Richard’s House.
There are new festive lights this year and Droitwich Town Council is currently putting together the programme of entertainment for the evening.
