Mansfield BID looking for stall holders for Christmas market

Mansfield BID is seeking people who can offer food, drink, crafts or gifts options to take the last chalets at the market, which runs on West Gate throughout November and December.

There will be 20 chalets in total plus a food court this year, running from Christmas lights switch on day on November 17 until Sunday, December 22.

The BID is also looking for sponsorships for the festive market in order to “generate more funds to be put back into Mansfield”.

“Last year the stalls made a good profit and saw high footfall compared to previous years and so we have extended the market for a few days.

“It will run from the night the Christmas lights are switched on, on November 17, until the Sunday before Christmas, and on the switch on event we are having the stalls open later to take advantage of the town’s footfall.

“There will also be a food court in the market this year so we are looking for food stalls.

“We could do with anything to do with smellies such as bath bombs or perfumes, things that will make great Christmas gifts.

“Nice chocolates are always a great option and that could be a something to either sell or eat on the day.”

Sue also noted that the BID is looking for sponsorships for the market and want to advertise it as far as possible to attract people in “from far and wide”.
