Fabulous festivities at Sheffield’s Fox Valley shopping centre as Christmas market returns
27 November 2023
The popular Festive Market will return to Sheffield’s Fox Valley shopping centre this weekend as the Christmas shopping season really starts to get into full swing.
Shoppers will be able to enjoy the fabulous festivities at
the Stocksbridge-based centre on Saturday, December 2, and Sunday, December 3,
between 10am and 3pm, providing the perfect opportunity to find that unique
gift for your loved ones and to start your Christmas shopping in style.
Celebrating the spirit of the season, the festive market
will showcase an enchanting array of local makers offering a merry mixture of
unique gifts, crafts and delicious treats - perfect for tingling your tastebuds
and spreading a sprinkle of Christmas cheer.
More than 30 stallholders will be offering seasonal food and
gifts, from favourites such as The Pink Flamingo Boutique, Jaynie’s Floral
Jewellery and Flossy Dog Goodies to tasty delights from When Butter Met Sugar
and Forge Bakehouse. The market will also be welcoming new traders including
Eyecandy Jewellery and Just Baskets offering handcrafted treasures and
jewellery.
A Santa’s Grotto will also feature alongside the festive
market on both days, between 12.30pm and 3.30pm, where families can capture
magical moments and share their Christmas wishes with Santa Claus himself.
For a small donation, every child will receive an
age-related gift with all profits going to the centre’s adopted charity for
this year, SCCCC (Sheffield Churches Council for Community Care).
There will also be live music taking place throughout the
weekend at the beautifully lit bandstand, ready to sing-in the traditions and
celebrate the magic of the season.
Claire Biltcliffe, centre manager at Fox Valley shopping
centre, said: “We’re thrilled to welcome back the Fox Valley festive market,
the addition of our exciting independent traders really helps put us on the map
as a one-stop destination for all your Christmas gift ideas - guaranteed!
“Whether it’s for shopping or socialising - our Christmas
lights really give that extra special sparkle to visiting the centre over the
festive season.
“For families, we are also delighted to be supporting SCCCC
to bring Father Christmas to Fox Valley this weekend and to help raise support
for local good causes.
“Christmas time really gives us the chance to bring the
community together to create cherished memories and help make spirits bright!”
Fox Valley stores, which includes Sandersons Boutique Store,
plus favourites such as JoJo Maman Bébé and Home Bargains, will also be
open to help get your Christmas shopping all wrapped up.
In addition, the Fox Valley car park offers four hours free
parking with all day parking available for just £3.50.
