Plymouth’s Christmas market closes amid vendor backlash over unaffordable fees and broken promises.
Plymouth’s Christmas market, closing December 21, faces criticism from small traders over rising pitch fees they say make participation unaffordable, especially for craft sellers.
Despite Market Place, the event’s operator, stating fees are fair and include subsidized rates for crafts and an extra trading week, some vendors report steep rent increases and unfulfilled promises of attractions like a big wheel and Santa’s grotto.
The city’s high deprivation ranking and ongoing cost of living crisis amplify concerns, though Market Place declined to disclose specific pricing, citing commercial sensitivity.
