New Look Christmas Market!

This year’s annual Christmas market will return to City Square with a brand-new look on November 19, bringing the city to life and celebrating the season with a host of local food, drink, music and entertainment.

And the hugely popular Ice Cube at Christmas will also be back on Millennium Square, Victoria Gardens, and Cookridge Street with advance tickets for the ice rink now on sale.

This year’s exciting City Square market will be organised by Fabler and Co, the company behind THOR'S Tipi, bringing stalls from 60 traders and food vendors from across Yorkshire as well as two new bar areas, around 200 beautiful Christmas trees and a new Elf Hunt trail around the attraction, all in addition to the return of their much-loved traditional Christmas Tipi's on Victoria Gardens.

Live music performances will also keep visitors entertained each week and will include talented solo acts, traditional brass bands and choirs.

This year the market will also feature a selection of special cabins operated by Real Markets Yorkshire, featuring a rotating selection of artisan traders.

The return of Ice Cube at Christmas will see the popular 400 square metre covered ice rink on Millennium Square, welcoming skaters beneath a transparent marquee, offering daily skating sessions and dedicated weekend Penguin Club sessions for youngsters under nine.
