Leeds Christmas market set for return after four years

Leeds's Christmas market could be set to make a welcome comeback this year, following a four-year absence.

While Covid put pay to the popular German-themed stalls in 2020 and 2021, many yearned for their return last Christmas. However, to the disappointment of seasonal shoppers, last year’s market was scrapped too, with the city council blaming visa “costs and complications”, although some festive stalls did run alongside the Ice Cube attraction in Millennium Square.The council has remained coy about whether this year’s offer will be similar to the German markets Leeds enjoyed before the pandemic.

“Whilst no decisions have been made about the precise locations or the exact nature of the offer, we will be specifically looking at how we can best use our streets and available spaces in the city centre to provide more fun, festive and affordable experiences for the people of Leeds.” It described the company as the “largest” operator of Christmas markets in the UK, with 5,000 traders on their books.
