It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas, and it’s time you decked up your halls too. And all you need is at New Market. The stalls selling Christmas decorations are set up and stocked well to make your house festive. For years, the stalls were at Hogg Market. But, for the last few years, the vendors have been moved to a space behind the market near Simpark Mall on Lindsay Street
