A Christmas market opens in front of the Royal Pavilion on 26 November
It runs every day until 27 December, noon to 9pm, on the new square built in the last phase of Valley Gardens.
A small Christmas market will open on the new public space at Valley Gardens, in front of the Royal Pavilion, on 26 November. The Labour-run council says it will be open from 12 noon to 9pm every day until 27 December.
It is the first event on the space, which was built in the third phase of the Valley Gardens scheme, Brighton and Hove News reported. Cole’s Family Funfairs is running it.
There will be Christmas craft stalls, and live music on selected dates. For food and drink, the council lists hot chocolate, mulled wine, a Bavarian grill and cabins selling cheese and desserts. It hasn’t said how many stalls there will be or named the traders.
Councillor David McGregor, the cabinet member for economy, culture, heritage and tourism, said: “It’s great to be bringing a traditional Christmas Market to Valley Gardens and making good use of our newest public space.”
He said the council looks forward to “hosting many more events at Valley Gardens throughout next year”. There’s no ice rink this winter; it comes back for Christmas 2027 at a new venue on the Old Steine.
