Successful return for annual late night Christmas shopping event in Southwell
Streets were buzzing with festive energy as shoppers browsed a late-night Christmas Market yesterday.
There was everything from hot chili sauces to festive decorations for sale at Southwell’s annual late night shopping event, held in the town centre last night (November 30).
The event was back bigger than ever, with stalls on the market, King Street and also Queen Street, as well as a number of traders who kept their shops and cafes open late.
It was a perfect chance to pick up a gift, with everything from handmade candles to prints of iconic landmarks in Nottinghamshire and silver jewellery on offer.
There was musical entertainment from a brass band and a selection of sweet treats from food trucks including crepes, loaded fries and woodfired pizza.
Streets were aglow with Christmas lights on the town’s Christmas trees — which were officially switched on as part of the event.
Community groups and charities also held some of the market stalls, including Southwell Scouts who were serving up mulled wine and hot chocolate, Reach Learning Disability’s Flower Pod with handmade wreaths and the Rotary Club who were advertising a charitable Christmas tree collection service.
