A new market at the Bearpit has been extended to offer weekly events for the festive season. The organiser wants to promote the area as a "positive and welcoming" space with up to 50 stalls of traders from Bristol and the South West at each market.
Markets have become a crucial part of the fabric of Bristol in recent years. A new succession of markets at the Bearpit at St James Barton roundabout has helped revive a space that was previously left in disarray until the council funded a £250,000 renovation.
The four trial markets at the Bearpit started in the summer and were such a success that the organiser, Indie Price, has been given the green light to continue. With that came the six weekly events starting from Sunday, November 13 right up until December 18, and they will return every month starting in January 2023.
