Leamington's Autumn and Christmas markets are amongst those in the run to be crowned Britain's Favourite Market.

Organisers, CJ's Events Warwickshire and Warwick District Council are encouraging the public to cast their votes to help secure the recognition.

Held in the heart of Leamington Spa between October and December, these markets have become a seasonal tradition, attracting thousands of visitors from across Warwickshire and beyond.

Jamie Probert-Walker of CJ's Events Warwickshire said: "These markets showcase 90 small, independent traders who depend on them for their success. They attract thousands of visitors from across the region and beyond, and have grown incredibly popular over the years.

"On selected weekends, we offer entertainment for all ages, including a Mini-Farm, alpacas, choirs, and walkabout performers. CJ's Events Warwickshire has worked tirelessly to create an event that not only boosts the local economy but also fosters a sense of togetherness during the festive season. 

"Winning the title of Favourite Market would be a testament to the dedication of the traders, and the community that makes these markets so special."

Known for their vibrant atmosphere and festive charm, the markets offer a wonderful shopping experience for families, friends, and shoppers alike.

From handcrafted gifts and artisan products to mouth-watering street food and local produce, the Leamington Autumn & Christmas Markets showcase the very best of independent businesses. 

Visitors can enjoy entertainment over the period, and a warm community spirit that makes these markets a highlight of the year.
