Small Christmas market on King Edward Street with festive gift ideas, part of Hull's festive season.
The Festive Market opens on King Edward Street on Thursday 19 November, a small Christmas market that forms part of Hull's festive season. It's a good spot to pick up a few gift ideas before the proper rush kicks in.
It doesn't sit on its own, though. The market runs alongside the city's annual Christmas Lights switch-on over at Queen Victoria Square, so you can easily make a day of it. That's the bigger event of the two, with Darren Leatham compering and the Lord Mayor of Hull, Councillor Maria Coward, switching on the lights from the balcony of Hull City Hall. If you're planning to be in town for the switch-on, the market is just a short walk away on King Edward Street, so it's easy to slot in a bit of shopping before or after.

Between the two, you've got the market for the gifts and the square for the lights, both happening around the same time. If you're heading in for the switch-on, you might as well wander over to King Edward Street and see what's on the stalls. The Festive Market is there on 19 November, and the Christmas Lights switch-on is at Queen Victoria Square, with the Lord Mayor switching them on from the balcony of Hull City Hall.
