When best to visit…
at any time as our stalls are sited in the heart of Cardiff’s pedestrian shopping area. There is no entrance fee to pay and because of our stall locations there is plenty of room to browse and shop even at peak shopping times.
As our Christmas Market is outdoors…
don’t worry, there is hot mulled wine and a selection of food, to warm you up and spread the festive cheer as you shop.
