For the first time, the market, which opens on Saturday 15th November and runs until Saturday 29th November on Grey Street and Grainger Street in the town centre, will feature a Santa’s Grotto. The Grotto will be run by staff and volunteers from St Oswald’s Hospice in Gosforth, Newcastle. Santa will be welcoming families into his festive Grotto from Saturday 15^th- Thursday 27^th November, 10am-5pm on weekends and 2pm-5.30pm on weekdays. Entry to see Santa costs £5 per child and includes a gift and letter from Mr Claus himself, with all proceeds going to the Hospice. The market offers a range of stalls with food from around Europe, giving shoppers the chance to try some tasty continental foods, including currywurst from Germany, waffles from Holland and paella from Spain.
