Christmas markets

From Friday 12 November to Thursday 23 December, around 40 stalls, festive rides and twinkly lights will transform St John's Gardens, William Brown Street and the area around the North Entrance of St George's Hall (near the Stebble Fountain) – in a slight change of location this year.

Open every day, the market will be packed with a delicious range of food and drink, with foodies being able to tuck in to favourites such as Yorkshire pudding wraps, German sausages, dipped pretzels, siu mai, crêpes and hot chocolate. Those after a festive tipple can choose between from a variety of festive themed bars including the iconic Windmill, Tepee tent and Barrel Bar, as well as the Alpine Lodge and its karaoke cable cars. For 2021 there is also the new addition of the Bavarian bar where visitors can try a selection of German beers or hot cider. Shoppers looking for the perfect gift will find personalised decorations, glass baubles, photo prints and jewellery. Kids (big and small) can enjoy Santa’s Village with its variety of festive rides including a big wheel and a giant Bavarian snow slide.
