Our Dementia Choir will take to the bandstand to perform on Saturday 25 November at 4pm. Visitors can also expect performances over the two days from Fun Chorus, Carlton Male Voice Choir, Hope Community Choir, Sing it Bold Gospel Choir and Limelight Orchestra, as well as family-friendly street entertainment, Morris Dancing and free face painting for children.
The Christmas Market has been curated and organised by It’s in Nottingham - the city’s business improvement district, in partnership with Nottingham City Council and Nottingham Castle, and gives Nottingham-based independent retailers and creatives, both bricks and mortar and online, a unique trading platform which will highlight the city’s fantastic independents.
With over 35 independent stallholders, visitors can expect to see freshly baked goods, sweet treats, cheeses, gins and liqueurs, arts, crafts, and handmade jewellery available from local independent retailers over the two days.
Some of the popular businesses taking part include Bird and Blend Tea, Block Party Bakery, Cropwell Bishop Creamery, Studio Chocolate, Emmy Lupin Studio, Happy Sunday Vintage, Grace Barlow Jewellery, Macaron Marlo, The Bead Shop and The Treat Kitchen.
Festive food and drink will be on offer with traditional roasted chestnuts, pork roasts, cheese melts and crepés, and Castle Rock Brewery will be on hand to provide the Christmas cheer with mulled wine and other refreshments.
Alongside the market stalls, the event will also include a full programme of exciting live music from the bandstand, performing acts and family-friendly entertainment, including a vintage carousel, free face painting and arts and crafts.
Tickets: £1 per person (inclusive of VAT and booking fees)
