Lincoln
Castle
Square | Thursday 4 December – Sunday 7 December
Now in its 32nd year, Lincoln Christmas Market is the UK’s
oldest German-style market. This year, visitors can stroll around over 250
stalls nestled within the medieval square beneath the impressive cathedral. Displaying
a range of handmade crafts, local food & drink, plus lots and lots of
German sausage (of course), the market is incredibly popular. Throw in a fun
fair, ferris wheel, hand bell ringers and local choirs performing by candlelight,
and you’re guaranteed to get those festive feels!
Edinburgh
East
Princes St Gardens | St Andrew Square | Friday 21 November – Sunday 4 January
The Scottish capital certainly knows how to put on large-scale festivals
and celebrations. With the summer Fringe and New Year Hogmanay being the
biggest, Edinburgh’s Christmas Markets are certainly catching up! ‘Edinburgh'sChristmas’ is a spectacular, six-week season of festive entertainment in the
heart of the city, including three Christmas markets offering a massive variety
of gift shopping, artistic displays, and delicious food & drink. Treat that
special someone to a spin on the fairground rides, a romantic glide around the
ice rink or a wee glass of Scottish ale.
City Centre | Friday 21 November – Sunday 21 December
Manchester’s award-winning Christmas Markets offer a staggering amount of
choice. Spread across the city centre (within a quarter of a mile of each other),
no less than 9 markets will be open daily. 300 stalls will sell everything from
handcrafted leather bags and top-quality bonsai trees, to handmade Belgian
kitchenware, framed photo prints and French soaps. Be sure to sample the
dazzling array of food & drink, and why not treat your date to a traditional
bratwurst, Hungarian goulash, Spanish paella or a good old-fashioned hog roast…
nom!Bath
Abbey Churchyard | York Street | Bath Street | Thursday 27 November – Sunday 14 December
What could be more romantic than a yuletide stroll through the heart of Bath’s elegant Georgian streets, hand-in-hand with that special someone? Set against the backdrop of the glorious Abbey, Bath Christmas Market features 170 traditional wooden chalets offering handmade gifts, decorations, food, toys and festive tipples! With a distinctively British theme and an emphasis on local traders, this market is perfect for creating unforgettable Christmas memories…
London
Locations across the capital | Mid-Late November – Early January
Traditional Christmas Markets have been running across the regional city centres for a number of years, but in London they are still fairly limited. Whilst you can enjoy quaint wooden chalets serving festive food, drink and crafts at The SouthbankCentre Christmas Market, for example, we’d suggest experiencing one of the more extravagant events in the capital. A festive family favourite is Hyde Park’s WinterWonderland, which is certain to bring out the big kid in you! Featuring carousels, funhouses and big top shows, along with a giant observation wheel, ice rink and Magical Ice Kingdom, this is a Christmas market with added excitement… not to be missed!
