Seasonal food, entertainment and gifts will be on offer at the Victorian Christmas Market, which opens tomorrow at Kelham Island Museum.

For two days there will be 80 stalls selling Sheffield-made wares including ceramics, prints, jewellery and handmade cards and food featuring a traditional hog roast, Bavarian sausages and traditional mulled wine. 

The market will be open on Saturday from 10am to 7pm and Sunday from the same time until 5pm.

Kim Streets, chief executive of Sheffield Museums, said: “Kelham Island Museum’s Victorian Christmas Market has become a Sheffield tradition and the start of seasonal celebrations for so many people in the city. 

“It’s one of our favourite times of year and we can’t wait to welcome people.”

Entertainment including brass bands, dancers and carollers will be there, as well as the opportunity to relax in the museum’s onsite pub, The Millowners Arms.

Admission charge is £7.50 for adults and free for accompanied children under 16.
