About

Peterborough City Council awarded a contract to PrestigeDanceDerbycic for the development and delivery of a fun, interactive and vibrant Christmas offer in the pedestrianised city-centre shopping area covering Cathedral Square, The Guildhall, St Johns Square, Bridge Street and Long Causeway.

The contract required collaboration with other partners and involvement of local traders and envisaged a mixture of activities including a Christmas market.

The council recorded that the 2022 and 2023 city-centre Christmas offer had, in the main, included a real ice rink with several pop-up market stalls at weekends and that at least 10,000 tickets were sold for admission to the ice rink in 2023.

The operating period was for up to a six-week period, with set-up specified to be available after the Christmas Light Switch each year; for year 1 set-up was allowed from 22 November 2025 with opening in the week commencing 1 December 2025 and operation until at least 24 December 2025.

The council noted a considerable increase in city-centre footfall during the Christmas period and stated that evidence indicated demand for a Christmas offer in the city centre.
