Festive food fair and a lot more in the build-up to Christmas in Burton
A SERIES of festive events is taking place in Burton throughout December in the lead-up to Christmas Day – including a food fair serving delicious grub.
Following the first Christmas in Burton event as the Christmas Lights were switched on by auctioneer Richard Winterton, East Staffordshire Borough Council’s programme of events continues with festive markets at Burton Market Hall and elsewhere.
Shoppers will be able to experience a festive treat as the everpopular Craft Market returns this Saturday.
Featuring a wide range of traders and makers from across the area, it’s a great place to pick up a one-off Christmas gift you wouldn’t find on the high street.
On Saturday, December 10, a Festive Food Market comes to Burton’s Market Place. It will be featuring a wide range of food and drink stalls, hot food vendors, family entertainment and a visit from Santa Claus himself.
The Burton Mail has asked the council for a full list of vendors that will be selling food at the event.
Councillor Bev Ashcroft, cabinet member for tourism and cultural development, said: “There are a number of wonderful Christmas events taking place across Burton this winter. With a number of festive markets taking place this month, Burton Market Hall and Place has plenty to keep visitors busy in the run up to Christmas.”
