From Saturday 15th November until Tuesday 23rd December, wander Newcastle's Christmas Market, with an avenue of stalls leading up Grainger Street, the top of Grey Street and Old Eldon Square. The market stalls will feature traders mainly from the local area. Opening times will be 10am to 8pm (Monday to Saturday) and 10am to 5pm (Sunday).

The area around the Grey’s Monument will see a new performance area for live music, choirs, and other entertainment, not only adding to the festive atmosphere but also allowing more space and improved movement for everyone to fully enjoy the festive offerings. The Moosenwirt Alpine Bar, which proved so popular last year, will be returning to Grey Street.

Step inside Newcastle's Grainger Market to experience the build up to Christmas within the historic indoor market as it transforms into Santa's Grotto. The Grainger Market will be the heart of the city’s festivities this year, with a festive overhaul, Santa’s grotto and a programme of special events to be announced. Don't forget to visit Newcastle Quayside's popular Sunday Market as it gears up to the festive season every Sunday.
