Flintshire County Council, in partnership with Mold Town Council hosted a hugely successful Festive Market on Sunday 4th December.  Mold was bustling and vibrant as thousands attended to visit the 70 market stalls on the High Street, Daniel Owen Square, Mold Indoor Market and the Daniel Owen Centre.  Stalls included - gifts, crafts, plants, clothing, food and drink.

It wasn’t just about Christmas shopping!  There was plenty of free entertainment for the all of the family to enjoy.  Daniel Owen Square played host to a GIANT Snow Globe with Father Christmas inside to make that festive photo extra special plus guest appearances from The Grinch & Cindy Lou, Elsa and Anna from Disney's Frozen along with Mickey & Minnie Mouse and the Cheeky Elves.  Throughout the day, the festive cheer continued with music and song from Mold Town Concert Band, Cor Y Pentan, The Rock Choir, Royal Buckley Band and Mountain Harmony choir.

Flintshire County Council Cabinet Member for Economy, Councillor David Healey said:

“Mold Festive Market made a welcome return drawing thousands of visitors to the town, supporting our market traders, town centre shops and the visitor economy alike whilst bringing the community together.”

Market trader, Shane Mellor commented:

"At the Great British Bakehouse we couldn't love coming to Mold more! The local people have always been incredibly supportive of us and the market.  It's lovely to have great events like this to say thank you. The entertainment on the Daniel Owen Square was fabulous and to see so many families enjoying themselves was a real pleasure.  When it's like that, it doesn't even feel like work. Well done Mold!”
