Festive market supporting young local traders on King Edward Street in Hull.
The Young Traders Festive Market arrives on King Edward Street on Friday 20 November, a day that puts the city's younger makers and creators right in the centre of the festive run-up. It's a market dedicated to young local traders, so the stalls are run by the next generation of Hull's craftspeople and entrepreneurs rather than the usual big names. If you're looking for something a bit more personal than the high street for your Christmas shopping, this is where you'll find it.
It doesn't sit on its own, either. The Young Traders market is part of a wider festive offering that stretches across King Edward Street and Queen Victoria Square, which includes a small Christmas market running alongside it. So, if you're heading in for the young traders, you'll find plenty more to browse around the same area without having to trek across town.
And there's a bigger occasion happening at the same time. The city's annual Christmas Lights switch-on takes place at Queen Victoria Square, compered by Darren Leatham and switched on by the Lord Mayor of Hull, Councillor Maria Coward, from Hull City Hall. It's one of those moments that marks the start of the season for most of us, and since it's in the same part of town as the markets, it's easy to make a proper afternoon or evening of it.
