Christmas is fast approaching, and Christmas markets will be springing up across the country ready to provide that perfect Christmas gift at the drop of a credit card.

Christmas markets in the UK

Many UK Christmas markets aim to emulate the success and atmosphere of their European counterparts, such as the German Christmas markets in Birmingham and Bristol. The Belfast Continental Christmas market features food and gifts from France, Germans, Spain and France, as does the popular Edinburgh European Christmas market.

Local and Victorian markets

Others city Christmas markets celebrate the local produce, such as the South-west Christmas market in Bath, or on creating a magical atmosphere for all ages, such as Nottingham’s Winter Wonderland. For vintage feel, kids of all ages will appreciate the fairground appeal of the Rochester Castle market, or the charms of the Gloucester Quays Victorian Christmas markets.

Victorian acts include:

more about: Allcock and Brown 

more about: The Christmas Singers

Talking of Victorian markets, the Wrexham version is a mecca for foodies who come to sample the local fayre, including Welshcakes. Or, while you’re near Wales, why not go further back in time at the Ludlow Medieval Christmas Fayre.
