As a VIP you will get the opportunity to venture under the Grainger market and see the Air Raid Shelter located in the Arcade just in front of Pet Lamb. To gain entry we ask you to form a queue as only 10 people can go down into the shelter at a time. This is a not to be missed opportunity to see a piece of Grainger Market history is likely to get busy so please get there as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.

Balcony viewing

You will also get the chance to gain a sleigh-eye view of the market and the hustle and bustle of the night market from a height and view the glitz of Christmas on our balcony. This is a great photo spot so don’t forget the cameras to catch what is going to be a memorable night. Some of you may remember it used to be a busy coffee shop back in the day !

 

Grainger Market Tour

You will also get the chance to hot foot it around the market and find out some of the markets history on a half hour tour with our lovely guide Frieda. Please head to the market inspector’s office on Alley 1 (just next to the weighouse) to join in and learn some great facts. Tours will start on the hour between 17:00 and 20:00. 

So grab a cup of mulled wine and have yourself a merry little start to Christmas with us, it is the season to be jolly after all.
