Glaswegians react after Christmas market organiser confirmed it will not hold events this year.

Yesterday, the Glasgow Times reported that the Glasgow Christmas Market, operated by Market Place Europe, will not hold events at either George Square or the St Enoch Centre this year.

Following the news, a spokesperson for Glasgow Love Christmas, the city's festive programme run by Glasgow Life, said: "We are working on plans for Christmas and look forward to making announcements for this year in due course.”

Residents were quick to respond to the news, expressing their disappointment.

One reader said: "Edinburgh is far better anyway.

"Christmas events in Glasgow are not a patch on Edinburgh.

"If you are going to do something do it right or not at all."

A second person added: "No mulled Buckfast for us then."

Another one said: "Aboustley shocking. Nothing to look forward to at Xmas, loved the markets."

Some Glaswegians, however, were less saddened by the update.

A reader said: "Won’t be missed. Money-grabbing chancers."

Another comment read: "Good. In my opinion, the food has been going downhill every year."

It is still unclear as to whether this means no Christmas markets will take place in the city this year or if the events will be handled by a new organiser. 

Glasgow City Council has been approached for comment.
