🕐 2 opening hours closure days included
A market running «28 November to 24 December» still has days when nothing happens — and at the weekend it often stays open two hours longer. That is exactly what stands here, in the organiser's own words.

📍 Location and access of the markets
Two markets in the same town rarely stand in the same place, and «old town» is not a route. Hence every published location separately — the square, the station, the lane.
