Leeds Christmas Market takes over City Square from 19 November to 23 December 2026. For 2026 the square becomes an ‘Evergreen Winter Wonderland’ with more than 60 retailers, local street food, bars and a programme of live music.

The live entertainment is free, so you can enjoy the music, the lights and the festive atmosphere without buying anything. Pay only for the food, drink and gifts you choose.

City Square is directly opposite Leeds railway station, and the Ice Cube skating rink on Millennium Square runs alongside the market (skating is ticketed).
