The Christmas Market opens this week, with the light switch-on Thursday – the same day you’ll find performances from Gentleman’s Dub Club and Dutty Moonshine Big Band. Southampton Dub Club, Funke and the Two Tone Baby and Jools Holland are just a selection of highlights. It’s also Southampton Film Week, where you’ll find live organ accompaniment to the 100 year old Hunchback of Notre Dame – full film festival listings are available on the SFW website.
