The countdown is on for Knutsford Christmas Market which returns on Saturday 30th November and Sunday 1st December! The popular market event is a two-day street market and local traders are now invited to apply.
The market features around 140 traders per day, selling an array of artisan handmade food and drink products, art, crafts, Christmas decorations and lots of gift offerings for your loved ones.
Alex Molloy Events Manager says “Every year the market gets better and better, and we’ve had potential traders contacting us to be involved since the start of the year!”
Any traders wishing to showcase as part of the event must submit an application setting out what is on offer and including photos to help assess the quality of your offer. Local traders will be prioritised.
If you are a local business or independent trader who is interested in trading at the market, you can now apply for a space to trade on either day of the event or for the whole weekend.
Stalls cost £80 per day which includes a gazebo space, table to use for your pitch and festive festoon lighting, as well as full site management. There is a separate pricing structure for instant consumables (hot food) traders, with all information available on the Town Council website.
Those who are interested in applying can head to the Town Council website for full details regarding what it’s like to trade at the event and to complete the application form.
The first deadline for applications is Friday 16th August, after which point most stalls will be filled. Traders can still apply to trade after this date, though they should note that spaces will be more limited.
A trader from the 2023 event said “It was an absolute pleasure to be in Knutsford and trade with you. Sadly, I only booked to trade with you on the Saturday, but lesson learnt, book both days in the future! The customers, vibe, set up to say the least was just an absolute joy to be around!”
