Enjoy a festive sandwich at Things in Bread
Things in Bread are always a top choice for us every Christmas, their Festive Feast sandwich blows us away every year.
Roasted turkey breast, GIANT pigs in blankets, stuffing, cranberry sauce and we added brie. All of this comes with a pot of chef Dan’s turkey gravy (this is a must). It's a messy one, so don't wear white, perfect to fuel you ahead of a day of Christmas shopping!
Get festive at Northern Market
Festive films all day every day, mulled wine, craft ales, festive hot drinks and more, Northern Market have upped the gears to give you a spot to celebrate all under one roof!
On Sunday 8th (this Sunday coming) @MEKSUMMAT are bringing their ‘sort of’ Festive Art fair to Northern Market between 11-4.
Independent arts and crafts from some of the finest makers this sidfe of the North Pole, fresh vegan treats with a festive twist and more!
