The market will once again showcase dozens of dozens of Nottinghamshire-based traders and street food. 

The bandstand will play host to festive music, with visitors also invited to explore the castle’s galleries and grounds. 

Those looking to enjoy a pre-Christmas tipple can take advantage of the licensed bar, offering classic festive drinks such as mulled wine. 

Last year’s two-day event was supported by around 40 local traders, who generated more than £70,000 in sales. 

The market will be open between 10am and 7pm on November 30 and then between 10am and 4pm on December 1. 

Admission to the castle grounds, including the market, will be £1. Visitors with an annual season ticket will not be charged.
