Summer in the city at Ely Markets! We have lots of extra activities alongside our regular weekly markets all through August for you to enjoy. Free family friendly craft activities, artists demonstrations and dance all feature on our markets this summer holiday, with new street food selections too. Come and join in!
Ely Markets is delighted to invite families to a special festive celebration that combines sustainability with enchantment. Join us on Friday, November 24th, for Ely Markets’ Festive Friday, a heart-warming and eco-conscious event that promises a memorable start to the Christmas season.
“One of the highlights of the evening is the ‘Eco Grotto,’ presented by Re-Imagine, where children can meet Santa in a unique and immersive setting. While we emphasise the joy of the season, we also take a moment to inspire the importance of environmental responsibility during the holiday festivities,” says Julia Davis, Ely Markets Manager.
Families will have the opportunity to indulge in a delightful culinary experience, thanks to our carefully selected street food vendors. Explore late-night shopping for that perfect gift, harmonise with a captivating choir, and watch the little ones light up with joy during a captivating dance performance by 4D.
As the evening unfolds, don’t miss the chance to take in the enchanting sight of Ely’s bright lights, casting a magical glow over this festive Christmas celebration. These beautiful lights are generously contributed by Visit Ely, adding to the overall enchantment of the event.
“We are thrilled to be part of Ely Markets’ Festive Friday and to contribute by providing the Christmas lights that will adorn the event,” says Anna Bennet, spokesperson for Visit Ely. “It’s a wonderful opportunity to enhance the festive atmosphere and bring the community together.”
Ely Markets’ Festive Friday is the perfect occasion to create cherished family memories and share the warmth of the season with your loved ones. We invite families to come together for this heart-warming and community-driven event.
