Christmas markets in the UK are growing in popularity and economic relevance. However this growth isn’t without complications, safety issues are often a topic of discussion.

Christmas markets bring energy to local economies and boost tourism. Visitor spend is generally increased by their presence and they attract both domestic and international tourists.

Bath Annual Christmas market is one of the most popular and plays host to 230 traders. The council said:

"The market brings an incredible boost to the local economy, enriching the community and enhancing the vibrancy of Bath. We are honoured to contribute to this cherished event and look forward to the joyful atmosphere it brings each year," 

Christmas markets make a significant contribution to our winter economy. Not only do they attract new visitors to an area but also generate temporary jobs and increase sales for local shops and cafes. The estimated visitor spend has doubled in a short amount of time and is in excess of 500 million.

Often mobile generators are used to power everything from food stands, refrigeration systems, lighting displays and even impressive temporary ice rinks. Generators are extremely hazardous, if used carelessly they can cause fires, carbon monoxide poisoning or even electrocution.
