![Millstream Square](https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/fancy_images/UKNORTHKESTEVEN/2022/12/6804624/4455440/img-4588_crop.jpg) The annual Sleaford Christmas Market was back to its usual one-day event on Sunday 27th November, and a great time was had by all.
With shopping, free activities and entertainment in the Market Place, Millstream Square, Eastgate Green and Bristol Arcade, it kick-started the festive season with a bang!
If you missed Market Day don't worry - you can still find some great places to Shop Local through the business directory on the Business NK website.
This weekend (Saturday 3 December) marks the 10th anniversary of Small Business Saturday, a national campaign that highlights the importance of SMEs to the local economy. The perfect opportunity to support the amazing retailers across North Kesteven this weekend and throughout December.
