Apply now if you want to trade at this year's Plymouth Christmas Market

A new festive experience is coming to Plymouth this winter and local businesses are invited to be at the heart of it.
 
The City Centre Company has teamed up with Market Place Europe Ltd to create a new look Christmas Market, transforming The Piazza in Armada Way and the new space in New George Street into a festive wonderland from November 27 to December 21.

The operators, who established and staged the much-loved Exeter Christmas Market, are bringing their festive flair to Plymouth for the first time. The company has previously delivered the iconic Belfast Christmas Market, which attracted 1.1 million visitors in 2024 and the Glasgow Christmas Market, which drew just under 1.5 million visitors at its peak.

With more than 100 beautifully decorated wooden chalets available, the Plymouth Christmas Market will offer a rich mix of artisan crafts, bespoke gifts, festive treats, and street food favourites. The event will also feature family-friendly attractions such as a vintage Helter Skelter, a traditional carousel, a ferris wheel, and a live entertainment stage showcasing local performers.

To ensure traders thrive, Market Place and the Plymouth City Centre Company, will be supporting the Christmas Market with a significant promotional campaign, including outdoor advertising, targeted social media, PR activity, and city-wide branding, all designed to drive footfall and maximise visibility for traders.

Spaces are limited and demand is high, so early application is strongly recommended. Traders are selected based on product quality, suitability, and availability on a first-come, first-served basis.
