Decision

To suspend the Boston Market for 29 November
2025 to enable the delivery of the annual Christmas Festival.

Reasons for the decision

The Boston Markets are held every Wednesday
and Saturday throughout the year in the Marketplace, but under
section 4 of the Council’s Markets policy, there may be days
when Markets will not be held to allow for the annual Christmas
Festival.
Members, as confirmed by the Deputy Leader, wish to see the
suspension of the Boston market in the Marketplace with the
provision of alternative pitches provided throughout the town
centre, on 29 November 2025, to enable the delivery of the annual
Christmas Festival event.

Alternative options considered

Not to offer pitches as part of the Boston
Christmas Festival.
