WREXHAM'S Victorian Christmas Market is set to get underway in the city centre tomorrow (November 28). 

The much-loved Victorian Christmas Market is back for four magical days, running from Thursday to Sunday (December 1).

There is set to be a host of festive fun, with live music and entertainment, and a brilliant variety of local stallholders and traders.

This year’s market promises something for everyone, with free workshops and activities, a packed schedule of live music and performances, and a charming selection of stalls offering festive food and drink, handmade crafts, bespoke gifts, and much more.

The markets will be open from 12pm until 8pm Thursday to Saturday as well as 12pm until 4pm on Sunday. 

The Victorian Market coincides with the reopening of the Butchers' and General Market, after months of refurbishment. These will be open from 11am until 8pm. 

The Butchers’ and General Markets will also have a range of festive events taking place throughout the four days including Victorian Carol Singers on Thursday, Tom Carradine’s Cockney Sing-Along on Friday and festive craft sessions on Saturday. 

St Giles Church is also set to host a number of musical acts from Thursday evening until Saturday night including the Salvation Army Choir, The Jazz Spot and Adam Robinson.
