Carlisle will have Christmas wrapped up with a city centre open-air market next month.
Traders will come together to offer residents and visitors to Carlisle a very Merry Christmas. Open daily from December 2 to December 11, the market will feature over 40 Alpine-style chalets selling a wide range of gifts, crafts, food and drink.
Featuring local and visiting traders there will be a variety of delicious treats and Christmas favourites on offer: giant bratwurst from the iconic German Schwenkegrill, an exotic selection of ostrich, wild boar and crocodile burgers, Italian macaroons, traditional hot Glühwein and cheeses and chutneys. Traditionally decorated chalets will be selling artisan craft products perfect as unique gifts and stocking fillers.
Councillor Stephen Higgs, portfolio holder for culture, leisure and sport, said: “Successful Christmas markets attract visitors from across the UK and have become a significant contributor to the local economy of the towns and cities that host them. We are confident the Carlisle Christmas Market will quickly establish itself as a leading festive attraction in the city and will add to our wonderful seasonal calendar of events.”
