A Christmas market promising a “magical experience” will return to a seaside attraction next month.
The “festive oasis” at Folkestone Harbour Arm will launch on Friday, November 15, showcasing a variety of independent businesses, live music and films.
It will be open each Friday, Saturday and Sunday until Christmas Eve.
Now in its fourth year, this year’s Folkestone Festive Marketplace promises “handmade crafts, delicious food, and one-of-a-kind gift ideas”.
The Harbour Grotto will also be returning for a second time.
In addition to the festive market, live music will also be on offer at the popular seaside attraction.
Classic festive films will be displayed on the big screen at The Goods Yard for free, adding an “extra dose of fun for visitors of all ages”.
The marketplace will open 4pm to 8pm on Fridays and 11am to 6pm at weekends.
It will be open from 11am to 6pm on December 23 and 11am to 4pm on Christmas eve.
Last year, East 17 switched on the Christmas lights in Folkestone.
The group best known for 1990s Christmas classic ‘Stay Another Day’ performed in the town centre.
Folkestone and Hythe District Council (FHDC) has not yet confirmed whether any events will be taking place in the high street this year.
