A VICTORIAN CHRISTMAS....

December is fast approaching and here at Ruby Slippers we have a very keen eye on the 19th Kelham Island Museum Victorian Christmas Market.
Taking place on Saturday 3rd (10am - 7pm) and Sunday 4th (10am - 5pm) December, the Victorian Christmas Market brings traditional Christmas cheer to Sheffield.
There are over 120 stalls with gift ideas for all budgets.  Although it is not all about the shopping! Visitors can gather under gas lamps for hot chestnuts, mulled wine, a hog roast and taste sensations from around the world.  Entertainment comes in the form of Dickensian themed performers, musicians and the Mighty River Don engine. For the children there are fairground gallopers and even Santa’s workshop!
Niki Connelly, Events and Marketing Officer at Kelham Island Museum said: “The snow thwarted us last year and everyone at the museum was devastated that we couldn’t hold the Christmas Market. This year we’ve gone all out to make up for last year’s snow. This year’s event will be bigger and better than ever before with loads to do for all of the family and some amazing products on sale.
“Kelham Island is such a magical place and the Victorian Christmas Market has been a staple part of it for 20 years now. It attracts thousands of visitors who browse the Dickensian themed market and enjoy the traditional Christmas entertainment. Be sure to be part of the celebrations.”
Tickets are £5 for adults and then accompanying children are free, however if you have been following our social media ‘Spot the Top Hat’ campaign you might be the lucky winner of a family ticket!
Be sure not to miss this Christmas spectacular and head down to the Victorian Christmas Market on the 3rd and 4th of December!
