Local charities offered free Christmas Market chalet thanks to wagamama sponsorship



Charities and community groups in Bath and North East Somerset are being offered a free chalet for a day to support their fundraising at this year’s Bath Christmas Market.


Pan Asian restaurant wagamama has sponsored the market’s two community chalets which will offer 36 organisations the opportunity to use it for one day for fundraising.


Local charities including Genesis Trust, SWALLOW and Bath Cats and Dogs Home will occupy the chalet alongside 230 other traders at the Christmas Market, which runs from November 28 to December 15.


Bath & North East Somerset Council provides two charity chalets for the Christmas Market which are located at the Guildhall and Milsom Street, close to wagamama on neighbouring George Street.


Councillor Paul Roper, cabinet member for Economic and Cultural Sustainable Development at Bath & North East Somerset Council, said: “We are excited to be working with wagamama to offer local charities and community groups a spotlight at the prestigious Christmas Market. The council is committed to supporting local causes and this partnership will make a difference to the fundraising and excellent work our community organisations do.  


wagamama said: “Here at wagamama, we have an ‘all on one bench’ philosophy and are committed to supporting local charities that truly make a difference to our communities. We are proud to be supporting the 36 charities who are part of this year’s Bath's Christmas Market charity chalets and thank all of them for all of the important work they do.”


Bath Christmas Market offers some of the best independent food, drink and gifts in the South West over the 18 days of the event with 85 per cent of traders based in the region. Eighty traders will be attending for the first time, with 40 per cent of the businesses signed up based in Bath and the surrounding areas.


Twenty catering stalls will be offering the best festive food and drink suitable for many dietary requirements, including gluten free and vegan options. A full list of stallholders can be found at https://bathchristmasmarket.co.uk/stallholders
