Snow creates festive cheer at Knutsford Christmas Market

Shoppers browsed round lots of festive gifts as more than 140 stalls lined Princess Street and Silk Mill Street.

 

The event was only held on Sunday due to the weather as snow and winds forced Saturday's market to be cancelled.

An array of artisan food, drink, art and gifts attracted families and visitors from miles around.

Alex Brown, events officer at Knutsford Town Council, said: "We were devastated to cancel the Saturday of this event but thrilled that Sunday could go ahead in such a wintery, Christmassy setting with the snow.

 

"There was a wonderful turn out of support at the market. Huge thanks to all of our traders who were fantastic again."

Traders were kept busy from 11am to 4pm.

 

Food and drink stalls kept shoppers fed and warm outside the Lost and Found on Princess Street.

Ben Tavill, Knutsford Beats and City of Chester Brass provided live entertainment.
