If you're partial to a spot of after-hours eating, drinking and shopping, you'll be glad to know the QVM's night market game is kicking up a gear next month. Not only has its much-loved Summer Night Market returned for a fresh season of Wednesday night fun, but the String Bean Alley Christmas Night Market is also making a comeback, spreading festive cheer every Monday from December 5–19. Head along to tick off that Christmas gift list by stocking up on a range of handmade goodies from local artisans. Then, once you've worked up an appetite, you can fuel up with bites like Pasta Face's fresh pasta dishes, Tex-Mex fare courtesy of Dingo Ate My Taco and gingerbread treats from Can't Catch Me, along with an offering of local sips. There'll be plenty of photo-friendly festive happenings to get you in the spirit, too, from Santa visits and Christmas carollers, to dustings of faux snow and a super-sized gingerbread man.
