Christmas market brings food, drink, gift ideas and festive cheer to Wolverhampton city centre

The Wolverhampton Christmas Shopping Market is a week-long celebration of all things festive on Dudley Street, which started on Friday and is running until Thursday, running each day from 10am to 5pm.

Operated and run by events company LSD Promotions, a wide range of stalls can been seen along the street running from the entrance to Starbucks on King Street to the entrance of the Wulfrun Centre, along with a good selection of food stalls.

These range from a Sri Lankan kitchen to a churros stand, a falafel stand and a stall selling organic honey.

Other gifts items on show at the market include homemade crafts, clothing and home essentials, such as perfume, jewellery, a collection of Caribbean clothing, necklaces and jars of sea moss, as well as a stall full of country clothing, with a set of fedoras among the most notable items.

For people looking to give some food as a present or as part of a hamper, there were a number of stalls offering free food and drink items, from a stall selling olives and organic sweets to at least three stalls selling cheese, including the unique tastes from the Cheshire Cheese Company.

Owner Phil Parker said the market was a good one, full of interesting items and spoke about what his stall had to offer.

He said: "We get our cheeses from Nantwich in Cheshire and we offer a wide range, from some of the spicy cheeses like the Jerk spice to mature ones like the cheddar and a few flavoured ones.

"People have been trying the cheeses and very much enjoying them, so it's been good so far."

A more unique stall has been O'Donnell Moonshine, which sells a range of Moonshine products from high proof to flavoured versions.

Marie Wallam has been running the stall all week and spoke about what it had been like to be at the market.

She said: "I've been here since Friday and it's been really busy the whole time, with a lot of people coming up to see what we have and try some of the products.

"It's good for Wolverhampton to have these type of events on and this has been a good market so far.

"Our product is moonshine, a spirit with a high proof flavour and also coming in a range of different flavours, as well as being used as a mixer, and we have some lovely minisets and a gift box."

The Wolverhampton Christmas Shopping Market runs until 5pm on Thursday.
