Shoppers can head to the harbour this Christmas for a vibrant, locally focused alternative to the high street. With a host of amazing artisan stalls and a gift wrapping station, as well as local artists (including works from Upfest Gallery), performers and gourmet chefs, the market promises to be a one-stop shop for all things Christmassy. There will even be a pop-up bar courtesy of Harbourside No.1, serving delicious hot cocktails, mulled wine and merry ales.
