Judges, the Chair of Bath & North East Somerset, Councillor Sarah Moore, and the Mayor of Bath, Councillor Dine Romero, toured the market, which featured 200 traders and 36 community groups offering gifts, crafts and food and drink.
The annual awards went to:
- Mayor of Bath, Best Dressed Chalet: Bath Carnival in Orange Grove
- Chair of Bath & North East Somerset, Best Dressed Chalet: Felt So Good, in Kingston Parade
- Mayor and Chair Runner Up: Pollyfields, in Kingston Parade
- Mayor and Chair Highly Commended: The Sparkorium, in Milsom Street
The popular 18-day market, which closed on Sunday, 10th December, attracted thousands of visitors each day.
Councillor Sarah Moore, Chair of Bath & North East Somerset Council, said: “It was fantastic to wander around all the chalets and see the huge efforts traders go to, to dress their chalets.
“Our council team works closely with all stallholders to make sure the market is a great event at this special time of year and so it wasn’t an easy task picking out just four winners when there are so many great chalets to choose from.”
