NewcastleGateshead Virtual Christmas Market

Virtual Christmas Market

Before we get started… thank you for supporting our Virtual Christmas Market!

 

What is the purpose of the Virtual Christmas Market?

The primary purpose is to provide support to North East tourism, hospitality and retail businesses who have had their ability to trade significantly reduced by the Covid-19 pandemic. The Virtual Christmas Market provides a shop window for Christmas gifts which are available for purchase online from these businesses. The platform is designed to help consumers find Christmas gifts that support our tourism industry but also for corporate businesses looking for alternative gifts for clients and employees.
