Tips & Advice
- Arrive early on weekends to fully experience the market before peak crowds, especially if attending with children for the meet-and-greets.
- Check the event schedule for specific days featuring children's programming or live music to plan your visit accordingly.
- Bring cash for smaller vendors, as not all may accept card payments, ensuring a smooth shopping experience.
- Consider visiting on a 'Charity Monday' to directly contribute to good causes while enjoying the festive atmosphere.
- Dress warmly and wear comfortable shoes, as the market is outdoors and you'll likely be doing a lot of browsing and standing.
