Last month, Sheffield Council approved an application seeking permission to site log cabins on Fargate, in the Peace Gardens, Tudor Square, around Sheffield Town Hall, and in Barker's Pool.

The market has grown from a handful of cabins on the main shopping area of Sheffield to an entire Christmas experience of 50 cabins.
