Festive Marketplace 2026 - DAY 1

The Festive Marketplace returns on Friday 13th November from 4pm - 8pm for the annual Christmas Lights Switch on. It will be open every Friday and Saturday from 11am - 7pm and every Sunday from 11am - 6pm until 20th December. The marketplace will feature over 40 independent businesses, open-air cinema showing Christmas classics, live music, and community events. Visitors can find the perfect gift for the hard to buy for and shop local. From 26th December - 3rd January 2027, the Goods Yard will be open for Crimbo Limbo, an escape from the endless turkey sandwiches and cold mince pies, with all Street Food traders open from 11am - 4pm and a family favourite film on the Harbour Screen daily.
