The African Christmas Market will be held at the Memorial Hall

An African Christmas Market will be held in Morecambe this year.

Organisers said the event will bring together African arts and crafts, traditional and contemporary fashion, music, cultural performances, authentic cuisine, festive shopping and family-friendly entertainment.

The market will be held on Sunday December 20 from 3pm to 8pm at Morecambe Memorial Hall, Church Walk.

Admission is £5 for adults and free for children.

"More than a Christmas market, it is an opportunity to showcase African creativity, celebrate Lancashire’s multicultural communities and support independent artists, entrepreneurs and local businesses," said a spokesperson for organisers Facile Entertainment.

"Facile Entertainment is dedicated to promoting African arts, culture and heritage while creating inclusive opportunities for entertainment, artistic expression, creative entrepreneurship and community engagement.

"We have successfully organised several events including three editions of the African Food and Fashion Fair, featuring African-inspired fashion, traditional cuisine, music, dance, cultural performances and exhibitions.

"These events have provided valuable platforms for emerging artists, designers, performers and small businesses while encouraging cultural exchange and strengthening relationships between diverse communities."
