**Behind the initiative:** The market is organised by Will and Jenny, owners of [Threads for All](https://www.ipswich.co.uk/tag/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.
