The few last weeks have been a flurry of 🎄Christmas Market 🎄activity up & down the country for the Crowdguard Team.
Stratford-on-Avon Christmas Market
Boasting over 200 high-quality stalls, the the Stratford-on-Avon Christmas market is one of the largest in the West Midlands – and one of the highlights of our year!
In partnership with Stratford-on-Avon District Council and LSD Promotions, we were back for the rearranged and re-imagined Christmas market, that has a new, more open layout and performers mixing with the crowds to enhance visitor experience while helping to minimise disruption to the town.
We deployed Husson H-Stop, ATG SurfaceGuard, Highway Care RB50 and ARX Stopper temporary HVM solutions at 6 separate locations around the town centre to keep the crowds of visitors safe from vehicular incursions, while allowing for pedestrian permeability and accessibility for all.

Dundee Christmas Market
We’ve also been working with Dundee City Council to help them set up for their Christmas Village. The event will transform City Square into a vibrant Christmas hub, in front of the Caird Hall, complete with an ice rink, Christmas Market, Santa Experience, and festive funfair, promising a magical experience for visitors and locals alike. We have deployed Husson International H-Stop and Highway Care Claw to protect the crowds over the coming weeks.
Paisley Christmas Lights Switch-On
Then we were over to Paisley to protect key junctions at County Square, Gauze Street and the High Street with H-Stop for Protection in Partnership with Renfrewshire Council for the Paisley Christmas Lights switch-on.
Harrogate
Next, we were off to Harrogate for their Christmas Fayre, Protecting in Partnership with the Town Council, again deploying the H-Stop to keep the crowds safe on the busy Cambridge Road and Market Place in the town centre.
Bishop Auckland
We also stopped off in Bishop Auckland to deploy more festive-coloured H-Stop for what is fast becoming known as the Christmas Capital of the North, for Bishop Auckland Town Council and Baccanalia & Bridge Events.
Bath
We are delighted to be given the opportunity to partner with Bath & North East Somerset Council and Muddy Dog Events to help protect the thronging crowds expected at the Bath Christmas Market.
From Thursday 28th November to Sunday 15th December 2024, the picturesque streets of Bath are transformed into a magical, festive experience.
We have deployed ATG SurfaceGuard and Husson International HStop to create a safe, accessible and pedestrian-friendly zone in the centre of the beautiful City of Bath, while allowing for emergency and delivery vehicles to have access to the narrow streets.
Such a lovely project to deliver!
Keynsham
Finally, we were over to the Keynsham Winter Festival, partnering with Keynsham Town Council, where more H-Stop were deployed on the busy market streets to help keep the thronging crowds safe, as well as being easy to remove and store away, so that the big red fire engine could get in/ out, in case of an emergency!
Phew! What a Month! We’re delighted that we have been trusted by so many Local Authorities and Event Organisers to secure their Christmas Markets and Lights – we look forward to seeing you all again for next year’s festivities!
