Hosted and supported by South Cambridgeshire District Council, the Christmas market is an opportunity for local traders to showcase their products to the public. It is the first time an event such as this has been organised by the council in Cambourne where its headquarters are located. It will run from noon to 6pm.

Cllr Peter McDonald, lead cabinet member for business recovery and skills, said: “The past two years have been extremely challenging for many of our local traders and have highlighted how important they are to the well-being and survival of our high streets and communities.

“This is our way of supporting and enabling them to showcase their wares and their businesses by bringing them all together in one place for the public to come and browse and buy.”

The fair is funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) as part of the European Structural and Investment Funds Growth Programme.
