A charity is set to host a Christmas market in the city centre with a guest appearance from Heart FM's Jennifer Reoch.

Mary's Meals, a school-feeding charity, has announced it will host the Christmas market at the Royal Concert Hall to signal the start of the festive season.

After a successful inaugural event in 2023, the market will return on Saturday, November 30, and Sunday, December 1.

Visitors will be able to start their Christmas shopping at the event with a selection of stalls run by charity volunteers and small Scottish businesses.

Heart FM presenter and Scottish media personality Jennifer Reoch will also be on hand to light up the Mary's Meals Christmas tree on Saturday afternoon.

Proceeds from the event will help the charity to serve school meals to children living in some of the world's poorest countries.

Morven Macgillivray, supporter engagement manager at Mary's Meals, said: "Last year’s Christmas market was such a success and we can’t wait to do it again this year.

“As well as market stalls where you can pick up presents including arts and crafts, jewellery, stocking fillers and Christmas decorations, we’ll be hosting drop-in crafting and children’s storytelling sessions, a Christmas-themed photo background, games, a raffle and tombola.

"It’ll be great to welcome everyone to the Royal Concert Hall for a weekend of festive fun for all the family, all in aid of helping us reach the next hungry child with Mary’s Meals."
