Following a successful inaugural stall last year, the Dutch-themed chalet will feature cheese, salty liquorice and beer from small brewers based in Bath’s twin city in the Netherlands.
Also on sale between 2nd and 4th December will be traditional Christmas goodies, including chocolate Christmas wreaths, advocaat, and “speculaas” spiced shortcrust biscuits.
BATA Chairman Chris Davies said the aim is to highlight the city link and spread the tastes of Dutch Christmas.
He explained: “Many visitors to the market have sampled Dutch goods on holiday or when they lived or worked in the Netherlands, and relish being able to try them again.
“Our stall is a great way to tell people about our twin city, Alkmaar, and to share the Dutch Christmas spirit.”
