A festive event in Barrow is looking to build on the 'jolly success' of its debut last year.

'Another Local Christmas Market' will be returning to Hawcoat Park on Sunday, December 8 between 11am and 3pm.

Live music will run between 2pm and 3pm, whilst local businesses - such as Bao Selector, Shed One, and The Old Smithy Van - will be in attendance.

The organisers said: "Just like our inaugural event, we'll have a delightful array of local stall holders and food trucks, featuring a merry mix of newcomers and beloved familiar faces.

"From charming crafts to fresh food, festive spirits, dazzling décor, and gifts galore – our market is the perfect place to embrace the holiday spirit and prepare for the season of joy."

All donations will go towards 'spreading cheer and support' for local autistic children and adults.

New this year will be a special quiet hour from 11am to 12 noon to ensure the market is a 'wonderland' for everyone, including those who may find loud noises and busy places stressful.
