Christmas events and markets
The Christmas market at St John’s and the Methodist Church has become a regular fixture in the Christmas calendar, but this year the Lion Heart Market [Update: The Lion Heart Market changed in 2013 to become E11 Market] will be keeping the flag flying for Christmas shoppers for a further two Saturdays in December.
See a list of some of the not to miss events over the Christmas and New Year period on the Christmas events and markets page.
