The German Christmas market set up in the Bull Ring and Cathedral precinct on 19th Nov. was ordered by Wakefield council to pack up and leave by the 10th Dec. as it was not up to scratch. Only 30 of the 60 expected stalls materialised, and residents had claimed it was “a disappointment”, had “no atmosphere” and lacked German goods and entertainment.
