Kelham Island Museum Victorian Christmas Market 2011
10th November 11
The Kelham Island Museum Victorian Christmas Market is all set to return for 2011 and bring a sprinkle of traditional Christmas cheer to the city on Saturday 3 December (10am - 7pm) and Sunday 4 December (10am - 5pm).
Now in its 19th year, the much loved event is set to attract over 12,000 visitors to enjoy music, performers, Christmas gifts and festive food stalls - all with a Dickensian theme.
Christmas shoppers can delight in discovering over 120 stalls located both indoors and out along the cobbled street, all bearing seasonal goods to suit every pocket. From ‘Sheffield Made' crafts and the ‘Christmas Shop' to ‘All that Glitters' treasures and ‘Festive Food and Entertainment', with traders dressed in traditional Victorian costumes to help find that perfect stocking filler or unusual gift.
Visitors can gather under the gas lamps to enjoy the sights and smells of Christmas. Treats include, hot chestnuts, mulled wine, a scrumptious hog roast and taste sensations from around the world.
Entertainment includes a traditional fairground with gallopers, Santa's workshop for youngsters and an array of musicians, singers, brass bands and performance artists.
Families can enjoy a great day out exploring the interactive museum galleries that tell the story of early industrialisation to modern times.
General admission is £5 for adults and accompanied children are free.
