Executive member for environment and leisure Cllr Parry Batth said: “As we approach the autumnal months, it’s time to start thinking about Christmas. The past eighteen months have shown us the importance of shopping locally, and what better way to support growth in our local economy and help build business by attending Cantley Park’s Christmas Market.
“Whether you are a baker, jewellery maker or Christmas gift designer, we want to see as many vendors as possible selling local gifts and produce at the Christmas Market.
"We are anticipating that there will be plenty of interest in exhibiting at the event, particularly helped by the increased visitors from the ice skating rink, and I am encouraging vendors to book their market huts as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.”
