Discover the Magic: Top 5 Christmas Markets in the UK

There's nothing quite like a British Christmas market: the glow of the lights, the smell of mulled wine, and stall after stall of handmade gifts and decorations. Here are five of our favourites, with a little inspiration for the season ahead.

1. Birmingham Frankfurt Christmas Market

The largest authentic German market outside Germany and Austria, Birmingham's Frankfurt Market fills the city centre with traditional stalls, crafts and festive food.

2. Edinburgh Christmas Market

Set against the backdrop of Edinburgh Castle, this market pairs twinkling lights with a big wheel, an ice rink and rows of beautifully dressed wooden chalets.

3. Manchester Christmas Markets

Spread across the city, the Manchester markets are a firm favourite for their mix of local makers, international food and that unmistakable northern welcome.

4. Bath Christmas Market

Nestled around the honey-coloured Georgian streets and the famous Abbey, Bath's market is a showcase for independent British craftspeople and designers.

5. Winchester Cathedral Christmas Market

Widely rated one of Europe's best, the Winchester market sits in the shadow of the cathedral, complete with an open-air ice rink and dozens of beautifully styled chalets.
