The North-West Transport Hub is set to host its first-ever Christmas Food and Craft Market, bringing festive cheer and a sense of community to the station this Saturday, December 14, from 11,00am to 4,00pm.

The pop-up market will feature an array of local craft and artisan food stalls, offering unique gifts, festive treats, and delicious eats perfect for the Christmas season. To make the day even more magical, the event will include a special visit from Santa and a performance by the much-loved local choir Thyme to Sing, spreading joy with their seasonal melodies.

Following the resounding success of the station’s Halloween Market, which attracted thousands of passengers, this Christmas event promises to become another highlight of the local calendar.

This is a wonderful opportunity to bring together the local community and showcase the incredible talent of our local artisans and food producers.
