Xmas Market Ect Moves To The Moor,What Do You Think?

[bassett one]

the xmas market is now moving to the moor i am told inc the bar,funfair ect,it will make that area busy if nowt else this xmas,what do you guys think?

Make sense. That's where the the major part of the shopping is now and fargate has had to create some space for the container park and various ongoing building conversion works.

 

The lower part of Fargate also now has some residential, so again, The Moor will be a more appropriate place to put such an attraction.

 

Don't really see the move as being a problem, I think it's pretty obvious that it will overflow up to peace gardens so the link between fargate peace gardens and the Moor through the xmas market attraction will hardly be a great challenge.

 

I would argue those who kick up a stink about or be leaving petty comments all over the Sheffield Star articles about such a minor thing would be the sorts of "don't like change" types who would be complaining  no matter what the council did

There's plenty to go for!

It's only  people with no imagination that need things laid out on a plate for them

That's the spirit.

The Xmas markets will be better down The Moor as there is more room.

The Moor has been missing a reason for it’s existence for as long as I can remember, however things have changed. It has the only remaining department store in the City and doesn’t attempt to claim residential status, I’m all in favour of the market moving to within what will become Sheffield Retail Centre, good luck to it.
