Fine, so long as they don't block entrances to Fargate shops as previous "markets" on Fargate have done.  M+S particularly have complained previously

Seconded. Hate it when you have to dodge and weave through all the ephemeral 'street market type' stalls to access proper shops like M&S.

READING the press review we are in for a magnificent set of lights this year,i will see them in parts,but wouldnt it be great with a huge indoor grotto/funfair/market as well,think this is done in scotland and elsewhere,what do others think,the indoor or covered idea is great for december weather is it not??

I would hope that this is put on by business and not a local authority?

think its a joint cost with the funfair supplying the xmas shop cabins and funfair  and the council

Hmmm...

I suppose that must be the reason why they've got Jamie Campbell to switch them on then?
