From 1st October through to 1st January 2021, bathchristmasmarket.co.uk will direct visitors straight to stallholders’ websites.
Shoppers will be able to browse and buy from the comfort of their home whilst knowing they are supporting many of the city’s creative and unique businesses.
Bath Christmas Market lovers will find lots of their favourite produce, including beautifully crafted homewares, Christmas decorations, personalised gifts, handcrafted jewellery, seasonal food and much more.
Visitors are encouraged to look out for the exclusive festive deals and discounts many will be offering.
Around 27 local charities will also have a listing on the website, with a link through to their websites and social channels where donations can be made.
Mick Heath, head of events, Visit Bath, said: “Cancelling Bath Christmas Market this year was hugely disappointing for our stallholders, many of whom rely on the market for a large proportion of their annual turnover.
“It was therefore extremely important to us to find a way to support them, so we are delighted that we can direct shoppers – from all over the UK and potentially beyond – online to shop from the market’s producers, as well as continue to support a range of local charities; last year £26k was raised, so it’s an element of Bath Christmas Market we are very proud of.”
