00:00 Good afternoon Sheffield, it's Alistair from the Sheffield Star. I'm speaking to you from a very
00:03 wet and drizzly Peace Gardens today. I think recording videos in the rain seems to be all I
00:08 do lately. But here to speak to you about dramatic reveal, the Alpine Lodge has arrived. The very first
00:13 of the three Alpine Lodges that are arriving in Sheffield City Centre ahead of the Christmas
00:17 Market that will be coming in less than two weeks time. I wanted to give you a small update because
00:21 if you might remember there was actually an incorrect date post on the City Council website
00:25 which had to be updated later. I wanted to give you all the information that you need to know ahead
00:28 of the Christmas Market for this year. Sheffield's Christmas Market will be running from November 16th
00:33 through to December 23rd. Original report said the 18th but it will be the 16th instead. So come
00:39 out early, come out on time to support your independent traders in the area. Yet very soon
00:42 in the next two weeks, I think it's two weeks, yes two weeks we'll have up to 150 mile cabins all
00:48 along the moor, Pinsenton Street, Fargate behind me and as well as that will be the Big Wheel on
00:54 the moor. We'll have three of the Alpine Lodges behind me serving dailies and hot chocolate and
00:59 that kind of area. It'll be all to play for basically. You might remember last year there
01:04 was some controversy to do with where the Big Wheel was going to be. That was when we had the
01:07 residency of the shipping park container which led to the Big Wheel being temporarily relocated to
01:12 the moor. That's going to be the case this year as well because the construction boxes for the
01:16 latest renovations are still on Fargate so it's possible this is still temporary or maybe the
01:21 moor is just the home of the Big Wheel these days. I don't remember last year that walk,
01:25 that boulevard with the Big Wheel kind of framing it really did look quite nice so maybe that's
01:29 going to be it from now on. We've just come to you with a short update basically that's what
01:32 you've got to look forward to. I do have the opening hours here somewhere but maybe that's
01:36 best read out. Opening hours will be from 10am through 6pm on Sunday to Thursday and from 10am
01:42 through 8pm on Fridays and Saturdays and that's starting 16th November so we've got lots to look
01:47 forward to. Here is the first installation today and we've got three more to look forward to.
01:51 as the month goes on so within two weeks we get started.
