Tips & Advice

  • Do The Moor first if you're coming later in the day, because its stalls close earlier than those on Fargate and Pinstone Street.
  • The bars stay open after the stalls shut, so finish with mulled wine at the main bar in the Peace Gardens or the Alpine Lodge.
  • Families should head straight to Barkers Pool, where Santa's Grotto, the carousel and the historic Helter Skelter are grouped together in the family area.
  • Come on a Friday or Saturday if you want more time, since the market stays open an extra hour on those days.
  • Traders hoping for a cabin should plan on at least a week's booking, since cabins are only let for a minimum of one week.
