Ok guys and gals....
Sell us your local Christmas market. Needs to be in England and big enough to warrant a trip out. We loved Lincoln but after a couple of years it felt a little same old same old so looking for alternatives please.

We've done Birmingham before a few times and fancied a change, although there are some lovely fab friends up there  |

Neither are particularly local but the Bath & Winchester markets are excellent, both based around the cathedrals and really festive.
Not sure which one to go to this year, last year was Bath previously Winchester |

Cant sell the Christmas market but can sell gates nursery. Has a Christmas room that's amazing and if you've got kids the Santa's grotto is magical for them.
Our Christmas tree here was so bad last year we had a petition and someone donated one lol |

Manchester is very good. I'll be there again this year, next month, but my favourite is Cologne. It was my first experience of a Christmas Market and still to be surpassed. |

Don't bother with ours. It's run by foreigners as our council turned it over to the people who have their stalls there. Germans have charge of it to my knowledge |

As it happens, we went to the Birmingham German market today and it was ok. However, same old stuff on each stall was a -ve. German schnell imbiss (quick snack) food is usually good quality and what we had didn't dissapoint. Nice for a change, christmasy. |

Isn't that kind of the point ?
It's not really a German market if Fred and Mavis just stop selling big knickers for a month and start selling strüdel instead |

I would agree with the other posters regarding Bath. We have been for a couple of years now and booked a hotel for the second week in December to go for a two day break this year. All the usual stalls but a few interesting things run alongside it to keep the days busy. Roman baths well worth a visit, architecture is good and the main areas are very pedestrian friendly. Have a big breakfast and then snack from the stalls during the day. Night for playtime. |
