Sign up for Southampton Christmas Market as S&D Leisure put out the call for traders

All right, we know that it’s not even summer yet – but the company behind Southampton Christmas Market is already looking for traders who would like to be part of this year’s event.

S&D Leisure will be running the popular market again in 2023 and want to hear from people selling:

• Vegan foods
• Vegetarian foods
• Healthy options
• Interesting and unique festive decorations
• Toys and games and handcrafted items
• Unusual jewellers
• Arts and crafts including ceramics/metalwork

Last year visitors to the market on Above Bar enjoyed a wide range of tasty treats and live entertainment, children’s rides including a traditional horse carousel, festive bars serving hot mulled cider and the chance to buy gifts from a selection of vendors.

S&D Leisure are well known for presenting outdoor events including Summer Live in Bournemouth Square, Manchester Christmas Market and the Bournemouth Christmas Market.

In 2022 they stepped in at late notice to put on a festive market in Southampton after it was announced that the German Christmas Market would not be returning to the city.

If you’re a trader and would like to get involved this year, please email christmasmarket@sdleisure.com for an application form and any further information.
