Christmas Markets

Hello

Firstly, thank you for the site. This is an excellent resource, and is really making me feel more confident about starting out.

I've acquired a baked potato hand cart, and was looking to explore the possibilities of using it to sell chestnuts at Christmas markets, or a town centre.

Is there some sort of directory of little Christmas markets? Is there a larger company that manages several? I do realise I'm leaving this a bit late, but any advice would be appreciated.

At the very least it provides some info that you can build upon, and that will get you started in the right direction.(The links below will open in a new window, just close that window to return here)
