BEDFORD Place is set to celebrate the festive season with a new Christmas market.
The event will bring independent traders, entertainment, and street food and drinks.
Bedford Place at Christmas will be running from 11am to 4pm on November 26 and 27 on Carlton Place and Lower Banister Street.
The company running the events, The Village Popup, previously ran the Bedford Place Summer Festival and hopes to bring more variety to the city.

Events manager for the market, Tobi Stidolph, said the event is in the "early stages" but hopes it will be as popular as previous events.
The 28-year-old said: "It's a fantastic area and was a brilliant place to work in before.
"It's a pedestrianised area which allows us to create a really welcome space for our independent sellers to set up shop.
"All the stalls will be independent sellers and there will be a good variety of food and drink.
"We have not confirmed anything yet but we will be releasing all the info as and when we can.
"There will also be live music from Hampshire bands and musicians.
"All the sellers will be from Hampshire as well which promotes a fantastic 'shop local' idea that we love.
"We just want to champion the area and bring in more people to just shine a light really on the area and give a community vibe."
The Christmas market will be free to enter.
