ONLINE MARKETS

from Russell Grant VIP Magazine Dec 2020

VIRTUAL BEAUTY

In years gone by, at this time of year we would all be going out to the various Christmas markets we had planned to visit throughout the festive season. However, this year after the COVID-19 pandemic, things are going to be very different! What with most, if not all Christmas markets now cancelled, Christmas 2020 is set to be mainly an online affair instead. However, this will NOT get us down, we shall enjoy the festive period! We may not be able to go out to the markets, but they will come to us instead. Online Christmas markets are sprouting up all over the place at the moment

Christmas Market 2020

This one started only a few months ago by a friend and fellow blogger Chantelle Joy and is proving to be VERY popular.

With most, if not all stalls now fully booked. Plus a jam packed line up of events including – craft making workshops and Christmas author Q&A’s. They have stalls from delicious chocolates and fudges, to homemade soaps, gift hampers, toys and jewellery. Plus so much more! The thought of leaving your house now to venture in to the cold seems bizarre when you can do it all from home.

Online Christmas Fair Another great sounding Christmas market is the Online Christmas Fair who have a great selection of products on offer. Everything from – tasty liqueurs and beach wear, to handcrafted oak furniture and personalised socks! Plus everything else in between. Also, become a member and get 25% off site wide with the code –OCF2020.

Online Christmas Events However, perhaps you’re looking for more of an event or a workshop instead? If this is the case then you should check out Eventbrite’s list of online craft fair’s. They have everything from – Q&A’s with professional crafters to demonstrations with textile and wool makers. Definitely a great one to check out if you’re feeling crafty!

Bath Virtual Christmas Market There are a few of the original (in-person)

Christmas markets that have now gone online. So if you loved visiting the Bath

Christmas market, you can still do so virtually. Local to us, this is one we haven’t missed for the last 5 or 6 years. They have stalls from – grown up marshmallows, decadent brownies and gorgeous cheeses. To glass ornaments, aromatherapies and thermal clothing.
