Allan Hartwell, managing director of Market Place, said: “We’re thrilled to be back in Leeds with a new and improved layout for the Christmas Market. This year we are centralising the market, creating a festive village which can be easily located and navigated, ensuring a more atmospheric and enjoyable Christmas experience.
"We’ve brought together an incredible mix of traditional favourites and new additions, from international handcrafted gifts to unique local delicacies. It’s a celebration of the season and of Leeds itself, offering something special for everyone who visits. We look forward to creating a magical experience for families, friends, and all who join us.”
Leeds city centre has so much to offer throughout the Christmas period this year with plenty of activities taking place in Millennium Square. Ice Cube will be returning with its popular ice-skating rink, Christmas stalls and funfair rides. Little Bird Artisan Market will also be located on Bond Court (off Park Row), celebrating independent producers and makers every Saturday and Sunday while the main Leeds Christmas Market is taking place.
