Could Salisbury's Christmas Market return?

Monday, 5 February 2024 00:00

It looks like Salisbury may once again have a Christmas Market in 2024.

Mynt Image Ltd are currently advertising for stall holders to join the Christmas Market to be held on the Guildhall Square at the end of this year.

Stall prices start at £500 per week, and the market is planned to run for four weeks from 22nd November until 19th December 2024.

Their website says, "Would you like to trade at Christmas 2024 inside a purpose built wooden structure housing 32 stalls, in Guildhall Square central Salisbury?

"We are incredibly proud to present the revival of the Salisbury Christmas Market in 2024, working alongside Salisbury City Council. Mynt Image ltd and Salisbury City Council have worked together to create a new and exciting concept that has progressed with the times. Instead of the outdated rows of wooden chalets we have created one giant ultra modern chalet. We will be bringing together a festive christmas atmosphere alongside the practicallity of shelter from the elements, thus removing the danger of washout days!

"For our first year photos and imagery are limited but we are incredibly excited to be working with the council on what promises to be a superb alternative to the once thriving Christmas market here.

"Along side a host of incredible crafts people we have a superb food and drink offering too. Although we've modernized this Christmas market there is no way we can miss out on mulled wine and bratwurst.

"This market will be situated in Guildhall Square, right in the centre of town and rather handily where previous Christmas markets have been, so that locals and tourists alike will know exactly where to find us, promising a good footfall throughout."

Salisbury City Council have been approached for comment.
