It brings together around 60 traders and food vendors from across Yorkshire, with two new bar areas, around 200 Christmas trees, an Elf Hunt trail and weekly live music from solo acts, brass bands and choirs. Traditional Christmas tipis return to Victoria Gardens, and the Ice Cube ice rink, Big Wheel and Starflyer run nearby on Millennium Square, Victoria Gardens and Cookridge Street.
The market is open every day from Thursday 19 November to Wednesday 23 December 2026. The trader village and street food stalls open at 10.30am, closing at 7pm from Sunday to Wednesday and at 8pm from Thursday to Saturday; THOR'S Highland Lodge and the Folie Ski Bar stay open later.
