Local businesses in Hillsborough are working together to put on a new festive market at Towsure to bring about community and Christmas spirit this weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With concerns that Sheffield\u2019s main market is beoming commercialised, good tidings are being brought beyond the centre to support local businesses and communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Councillor Martin Smith, Chair of the Economic Development and Skills Policy Committee, said: \u201cMarkets will give a massive boost to local traders and businesses who are able to sell and showcase their goods.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This event has been organised by a family-run business, Holme Lane Deli, together with a local pub, The Masons Arms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lindsey Kirk from Holme Lane Deli said: \u201cWe want to bring the community together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAfter covid, people are struggling to get back into society.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conscious of how the cost-of-living crisis is affecting families, the market has been purposefully planned around pay day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With this in mind, children aged 12 and under will receive free gifts from Santa\u2019s Grotto, donated by Towsure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ms Kirk said: \u201cKids are missing out on stuff because they\u2019re unaffordable at the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There will be rides, a bar, a hog roast and stalls by local traders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There will also be fundraising activities to raise money for Sheffield\u2019s Children\u2019s Hospital to ensure that the spirit of giving is at the forefront of the celebrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Towsure, which started in Sheffield as a small family-run store itself in 1967, are supporting local traders by hosting the event tomorrow and Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A Towsure spokesperson said: “It’s a wonderful opportunity to bring the community together and support a great cause while celebrating the festive season.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The organisers hope that families can make memories together and that that the event will encourage people to socialise again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
