Standish Christmas Market

🎄 VOLUNTEERS WANTED! 🎄

Fancy joining the Standish Christmas Market team? We need a few willing souls to help with the festive fun.

No special skills required, just a few hours of your time over the Christmas Market weekend. If you can carry things, point people in roughly the right direction, smile convincingly and survive on tea, you’re already overqualified.

Come and join us. There’ll be Christmas cheer, questionable amounts of caffeine and, quite possibly, free biscuits. 🎅

Do you run a business and want some great publicity while supporting a hugely popular community event?
Standish Christmas Market is looking for commercial sponsors who want to help give our community a fantastic celebration on Saturday, December 5th, to kick off the festive season.
We receive no funding from the local authority and the cost of the day has tripled since we launched it in 2016, due to inflation but also because we aim to make the Market better each year – especially this year, our 10th anniversary.
Last year’s Market was another huge success and continues to be the biggest one-day event in north Wigan, raising thousands of pounds for many good causes and being a festive celebration for more than 5,000 people on the day.
If your business sponsors the Market, you’ll not only be helping to bring our community together at Christmas, but your company will also benefit from extensive local marketing through both printed and digital publicity.
Please take a look at the benefits of being a Gold, Silver or Bronze sponsor, with three different price points and a range of benefits to advertise your business and raise its profile in the community.
If you would like a sponsorship package or have questions, email [email protected]
Thanks!

We know... it’s absolutely baking outside and the absolute last thing on your mind is tinsel, mince pies, and Mariah Carey on repeat.

​But preparation is key. So while you’re currently focusing on surviving the heatwave and frantically searching for a working fan, the festive season is sneaking up on us.

​Applications for Standish Christmas Market are closing on Sunday 28th! So get your festive planning sorted so you can go back to enjoying the b**r garden.
