This year’s Christmas opening hours for markets across Walsall have been announced.

If you’re looking to shop local this Christmas, Walsall town centre market will be open an additional 4 days in the lead up to Christmas, as well as its usual Friday and Saturday.

You will be able to visit the market on Wednesday 14 and Thursday 15 December, and on Wednesday 21 and Thursday 22.

Bloxwich market will also be open on Thursday 22 December for those looking for some last-minute gift ideas, or to pick up local produce for their Christmas dinner.

Councillor Adrian Andrew, Portfolio Holder for Regeneration, said: “Shopping local at Christmas is a great way to support the local area and those that live and work in it, and what better way to do that than to shop at our fantastic markets?

“I’m delighted to see that our markets have extended opening times in the lead up to Christmas. I appreciate times are difficult for people this year, but I am confident that our markets will provide plenty of affordable options for our residents this Christmas.”
