A two-day town-centre Christmas market of around 70 stalls in North Shields' Georgian Northumberland Square, with street food, fairground rides and choirs.
North Shields' Christmas market fills Northumberland Square, the town's Georgian square, and neighbouring Howard Street for the first weekend of December. Around 70 stalls sell festive gifts, crafts, food and drink, and some of the region's street food traders and bars set up with mulled wine and seasonal treats.
The market opens on the Saturday morning with a short service led by local churches and the Salvation Army, followed by choirs and schoolchildren performing through the weekend. Fairground rides are set up around the square.
North Tyneside Council's tourism site says thousands of people visit each year.
