A gothic Christmas market featuring alternative traders, exotic animals and Father Gothmas comes to Llandudno on 21 November.

Wales' 'biggest alternative market' is coming to Venue Cymru in Llandudno on Saturday, 21 November for a Creepy Christmas special. The North Wales Macabre Market, created by friends Katie Daly and Lynne Stevens, aims to give independent makers a platform while offering shoppers something different. The free family-friendly event runs from 11am to 4pm.

Traders will sell gothic, horror and alternative items including perfumes, ceramics, original artwork, clothing, jewellery, books, comics, home décor and unusual trinkets. Stalls will also stock bath products, skincare, cosmetics, accessories and taxidermy. The market follows successful events in Rhyl and puts a darker twist on the Christmas shopping season.

Beyond shopping, the event will feature J&S Exotics - Animal Experiences presenting 'cute and creepy critters' on stage. Father Gothmas, the market's gothic take on Santa Claus, will be available for photographs. Spellcast Cakes will serve spooky treats, and a charity raffle will offer prizes donated by stallholders. Organisers said there would be 'something for everyone of every style' among the stalls.
