Christmas Market W
hilst the 2020 Friends of St John’s Bromsgrove Christmas Markets wasn’t able to take place this year, here at Completely Bromsgrove we wanted to support the local traders you’d usually find at the annual festive event.
Since 2016 Friends have been organising the Christmas Markets in conjunction with the Light Switch On in the High Street. Each year a super variety of local traders take to the town to sell their homemade produce, gifts and decorations.
