anyway back to the christmas market idea,

how much would it cost to commission the manufacture some chalets and would it not be presumptious to say that this cost would be recouped in the rental of these said chalets to the traders.


you have a year to research and organise this event so instead of saying it can't be done, use your noggin and prove to hbc it CAN
You keep mentioning 'chalets', but what the baby Jesus have Alpine wooden huts got to do with Accy?

If Accrington's too small to attract a commercial German Christmas market, who travel and transport their own stalls, and you suggest local charities sell (non-Germanic) things they've made, why are you so focused on Heidi style Wendy houses?

I think people are saying they'd appreciate a traditionally English celebration, hog roasts, mulled wine, mummers, roast chestnuts, carol singers, etc.

No one, when thinking about an olde worlde Englsh yuletide, first thinks 'Alpine chalet'.
