Following last year’s first successful Christmas Market at Rowland Road WMC, the Beeston Hill Community Association (BHCA) are getting ready to host the event again, alongside many local craft traders.
The Christmas Market will take place on Saturday (6 December 2025) 12-5pm at Rowland Road WMC, Beeston, LS11 6ED. This will be a great opportunity to get you in the festive mood and bring people from across the community together.
There will be lots of free activities for children and adults alike – from insects to owls and Santa’s grotto. The Play Patch will be open with special Christmas activities and, for those of you at our summer fair, Dax will be back with his brilliant obstacle course. There will be a free gift from Santa for every child at the fair! (subject to availability).
There will be over 25 stalls, most of which are local sellers to support trade and talent within our community. There will be visitors there from Leeds University who are promoting their ‘Life Long Learning’ scheme which seeks to help people from all backgrounds access further education.
Event organiser and BHCA Committee member Shaz says:
“Come along to our Christmas Market and meet Santa – Mrs Claus will be about too with some cheeky elves! They’ll be lots of local traders from food to handmade Christmas gifts to a carboot bargain. They’ll be something for everyone. Enjoy our specially made hot chocolate and our amazing raffle with a signed Leeds United shirt!”
There will be a raffle with lots of fantastic prizes such a signed Leeds United 2025/26 Squad shirt, two Leeds United Match tickets, as well as a meal for two from ‘Sugar & Spice’, a £20 Ocean Fisheries voucher, a foot spa treatment, Henna, to name a few. Many of these have been donated by local sponsors or individuals.
All money raised through the raffle will go back into community projects. You can buy tickets directly from Shaz or James by contacting 07568 544584 or contacting BHCA through the Facebook page. Tickets will also be available to buy on the day. Maybe you’ll be one of the lucky winners?
This event has been supported by Leeds Community Foundation as well as money raised from previous BHCA events, such as the Iftar back in March. Numerous local people and businesses have also donated their money, time or talent to enable this event to happen. Working together and partnering with others is a brilliant way to showcase all the positive things about our area!
Whether you celebrate Christmas or not, no matter what your faith, colour or culture, you are welcome. We hope you will join with us and have a great day of festive fun.
