As well as international street food there will be some great fresh foods on sale including olives, baklava, a vast array of dried fruit and nuts, freshly baked macaroons from Belgium; great French patisserie and famous French artisan bakery.
But it’s not all about food as there will be some great craft and gift stalls, offering some fantastic jewellery made from recycled silver cutlery; South American jewellery and knitwear, Italian silk scarves, handmade amber, crystal and gemstone jewellery and of course the famous Dutch Market Garden where you can wander through a huge array of shrubs, bulbs, beautiful plants and trees with some great garden ornaments.
Calderdale Council’s Cabinet Member for Regeneration and Economic Development, Cllr Barry Collins, said:

“This time the market arrives at a perfect time to get those unique gifts ready for Christmas, complementing the great products available at Calderdale markets.”
Opening hours of the International Market are:
