The staff at Brighouse BID are delighted to be welcoming again the Brighouse Christmas Markets this weekend and in addition Santa and the Christmas Tree swap on at Thornton Square.

“It’s great to be welcoming everyone back to our ever-popular Christmas Market,” stated Helen Holdsworth, Project Manager at Brighouse BID.

“Based on the level of interest on our social media pages at Visit Brighouse – it’s going to be a great couple of days with over 70 stalls, a full entertainment schedule on both days and Santa Blake is coming back to see us too this year.

“The shops, restaurants and cafes will be open on both days to provide festive cheer – there’ll be so much to see in town and you can tick presents off your Christmas list and support your local town at the same time.”

On both days there will be more than 70 market stalls for visitors to browse as well as a jam-packed schedule of entertainment at Thornton Square.
