It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas markets!

Shopfronts are being decorated, lights installed in town centres and festive adverts appearing on our screens; Christmas is well and truly on its way.

With less than 5 weeks left until the holidays, the time for Christmas shopping has fast approached and with that, market season has begun in Adur!

Right up until Christmas weekend there are a range of festive markets taking place across the district, beginning in Shoreham next weekend. From 25th to 27th November, the popular Shoreham Artisans Market will getting in the festive spirit alongside an exciting line up of activities.

On the Friday evening, Shoreham will be open for late night shopping whilst East Street is buzzing with fairground rides and entertainment until 8pm. A Christmas market will also take over Coronation Green under a marquee, with live music from 5.30pm.

It wouldn’t be Christmas without carol singers, and you will find plenty of festive cheer and hymns in East Street on the Saturday morning, whilst the market on Coronation Green will stay open throughout the weekend.

Elsewhere in Adur, the Southwick Christmas Festival will take place on 3rd December with a host of stalls offering the best local Sussex produce - the chance to buy unique Christmas gifts that have been made closer to home.

Later in the month Lancing will host its own Christmas Festival. On 17th December, the usual Village Market will transform Littlecroft Car Park into a festive festival.
