Following a decision made by Sleaford Town Council, the difficult decision has been made to cancel this year's Christmas Market.

Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, the safety of visitors and traders must come first.

The popular Christmas Market has been going from strength to strength over the past few years, with many visitors and traders even coming from outside the area. Several thousand people attend the event and it would be impossible to adhere to the social distancing rules in the current climate.

The event takes a year to organise and prepare for and we are very disappointed and saddened to have to make this decision.

However, we are pleased to announce that Christmas will still be celebrated in the town with the Twelve Market Days of Christmas events. These will be held in Sleaford Market Place on Fridays, Saturdays and Mondays from 26^th November to 20^th December.

We will be able to accommodate from twelve to fifteen Market pitches at each Market (depending on the sizes of pitches required) and new traders will join our regular Market and Farmers' Market Traders. Pitches are only £7.00 for a 3m x 3m pitch and £14.00 for a double pitch. Traders are required to bring their own gazebo, table etc. Bookings must be made in advance and we will require your public liability insurance. Full details can be found in the forms below.
