In a statement, the Mellors Group said:"In light of the unprecedented high footfall seen up and down the country for retail nationally, we have decided to temporarily close the Christmas market.
"This will allow us to monitor footfall in the city centre today and ensure that our activities support residents and local businesses in an appropriate fashion."COVID-19Pictures showed large groups of young people taking selfies as they waited to be let in and officers forming a protective ring around the store to stem the flow of customers.
A Harrods spokesperson told Sky News yesterday's incident happened outside the store and was therefore a police matter, but added:"At Harrods we have significant measures in place to ensure the absolute health and safety of our colleagues and customers inside the store. According to figures from retail analyst ShopperTrak, overall High Street footfall was down 29% on what it was on the same weekend in 2019.
And this is a load of dumb ass turkeys that won’t put on masks or social distance, the outcome will be the same covidiots itsjusttheflu
MarcherLord1 It's really not that crowded. New Years Eve used to be cheek by jowl. Calm down and don't get too excited by some clever camera angles.
We’ve just came out of lockdown, and here we see it again. Those people are just mad and irresponsible. Even if it’s outdoor, it still carries the risk of transmission surely!
blame dominic cummings :0)
1) This is madness. 2) Christmas markets are crap.
This is complete
It would be a lot simpler if they didn’t have these events in the first place.
Ashamed of my city 🤬🤬
local idiots in action. but then what to expect if the government is not reacting where it should...
Good. Not a mask in sight. Hopefully none of them had symptoms or even have Covid. Its these types of people that will have us in another lock down.
Shouldn’t have been opened!!
Why the fuck open it ,people aren't going to stay away as for the social distancing ,you want to see Leicester all queued up less than two foot and people still walking round without masks ,it ain't just Nottingham
Surprised this still took place, all cancelled round my way!
Look at all those clowns.
Assholes
Is it the exceptional education system these folks have?

Not the sharpest tools in the tool box. That's another lock down guaranteed in January 🤦🔒
No masks - No social distancing - Covid19 anyone
But pubs are dangerous 😂
Who thought it would be a good idea to have a Christmas market in a city where they can’t even open a pub?
wow didn't realise so many idiots lived in Nottingham
The authorities will never be forgiven by the general public for these draconian freedom stifling measures when it comes around to election time. Trust me on that one.
Always found the people of Nottingham to be decent......not the brightest obviously but decent
I’m amazed they were allowed to open
£500 fine
3rd lockdown on the way
Has Oxford Street been shut too?
People are stupid how many families will break the rules at Christmas The government need to shut down Christmas or lockdown Jan Feb 2021 ?
Arrested people? They should now go and arrest RitaOra People should not be tolerating slacker rules for those in the public eye! COVIDIOTS
Is anyone surprised by this? We had this same issue in Manchester during lockdown2. How these events are allowed to take place is beyond me
This is happening in many places our town had a Christmas market today with no social distancing no masks on some people as it was outside and it was heaving !! 😡it takes the piss.
Why o why Other cities have cancelled theirs 😡
Funny how this market gets shutdown yet central London yesterday was like a normal Saturday last year and nothing gets said. Double standards
Do this Government care about small traders. No! They don’t give a s**t. Why the f**k did they allow it in the first place. Didn’t they think anyone was going to attend. These restrictions are a shambles & I advise EVERYONE to ignore them.
How dare they enjoy themselves.
