Brighton Christmas Festival opens with après ski bar and live music
and live on Freeview channel 276
The festival has opened for its five-week run after a year of hard work from David Hill and his team at E3 Events based in Hove. The revamped market and après ski bar will be at St Peters Plaza right next to St Peter's Church in Brighton city centre.
David said: "I am over the moon with the look of this year's Christmas Market. The early signs are very encouraging since we opened at 1pm on Friday (November 18), and we are expecting a huge footfall. We are open every day until Christmas Eve, and we have lined up some absolutely fantastic attractions. We have made some very positive changes from last year, and my team is all geared up for a successful five weeks.

This hopefully will be the first 'normal' Christmas for a few years after covid and lockdowns, including last December. We want this to be the very best - and we are confident it will be."
