Victorian Christmas market returns to Stratford-upon-Avon

Guest will be transported back in time with traders wearing traditional Victorian dress

A pop-up Victorian Christmas Market has returned to Stratford-upon-Avon.

Visitors will be able to see more than 300 stalls with traders wearing Victorian outfits, organisers LSD Promotions said.

Market stalls will sell food, drink and gifts while visitors will also experience live music, dance and Victorian characters.

The company added they hope the market "brings communities together and captures the spirit of the season".

"It started in 2017 with half the number of stalls and only for three days, it's really snowballed over the years," a spokesperson said.

There will be live entertainment throughout the market

The event is free and ticketless with the market ending at 20:00 GMT on Thursday, Friday and Saturday and at 17:00 on Sunday.

There will be certain road closures in place and security will be tight, the council said
