Sheffield Christmas Market 2024: Big Wheel and Alpine Bar return to The Moor ahead of launch this week

It’s now just two sleeps to go until Sheffield Christmas Market is back on the city centre’s streets for 2024.

The Big Wheel is back up, the log cabins are arriving in force and the Alpine Bars are receiving their finishing touches - Sheffield Christmas Market 2024 is ready to go.

It won't be long now until more than 100 local traders are open for business and the three Alpine bars are sloshing with hot chocolate, mulled wine and Irish cream at all times of the day.

It will sadly be another year where Sheffield won’t get to enjoy an official lights switch-on due to the works on Fargate.

In any case, there are just two days to wait for rides on the Big Wheel, treats at Santa's Grotto or festive food from the vendors, with the market spread across Pinstone Street, Town Hall Square, the Peace Gardens and The Moor.
