Behind the initiative: The market is organised by Will and Jenny, owners of Threads for All, who opened their independent fashion and homeware store in The Walk in the late summer of 2024. Their shop offers gender-neutral and unisex fashion alongside accessories and homeware.

The bottom line: By bringing together independent traders and coinciding with the Artisan Market on the same day at the Cornhill, this new Christmas market aims to showcase The Walk's potential as a destination for shoppers seeking unique, locally sourced products.
