Gamesley, Glossop and Old Glossop Christmas Markets
Tis the season for getting ready for Christmas, and where better to get ready than by going to a Christmas Market, and rather than going off to Manchester or further afield, there’s a few nearby to kick start your Christmas preparations.
Glossop Christmas Market and Lights Switch On
First up, this coming Saturday (25th November) is the Glossop Christmas Market and Lights Switch On.
Starting from 9.00am on both the indoor and outdoor market, there will be over 60 stalls, a grotto for the children to meet santa, a licensed bar serving alcohol and mulled wine, live music and much much more.
Then just before 7.00pm it’s across to Norfolk Square with the Mayor of the High Peak and santa for the Christmas Lights switch on.

Gamesley Festive Market
Next up on Thursday 30th November, from 5.00pm until 8.00pm is the Gamesley Festive Market.
Filling up Gamesley’s Winster Mews in front of the shops will be Santa’s reindeer’s, local hand crafted gifts and other goods.
You will also have a chance to win a prize on the tombola, with rides for the kids, great performances from the choirs at Gamesley School and St Margaret’s / All Saints School, along with a performance from the Cherry Bombombs, and traditional fares of mince pie and mulled wine and a chance to visit santa.
