It’s almost Christmas, and if you’re organised enough to have bought and wrapped all your presents already, you might be looking for something to do this weekend. Well, don’t worry, there’s plenty of festive fun still to be had, as many of the UK’s Christmas markets are staying open right up until the big day. ‘Tis the season of glühwein, bratwurst, roasted chestnuts, gingerbread cookies, and Wham’s! iconic hit being played on repeat, after all.
Proving to be a hit for all ages, the markets provide family fun (what kids don’t like meeting Santa?!), romance (mulled wine and marshmallow first dates, anyone?), and even hangout spots for teens (it’s all about the dodgems, duh). So, if you’re looking to soak up the last bit of Christmas magic, here’s the Christmas markets that are still open for a few days more.
Date: November 15 to December 22. Where: Chester Town Hall Square. Chester’s free Christmas market kicked off earlier this month, welcoming visitors near and far to its festive extravaganza. Christmas or not, the city feels like a magical place to visit thanks to its Tudor-style half-timber buildings and ancient Roman walls, so with an added dose of fairy lights, pretty wreaths and Christmas trees, it almost feels as if you’re stepping onto a Harry Potter set.
In terms of what the market has to offer, Visit Chester and Cheshire dubs the event a ‘handmade, historical, and magical experience.’. Boasting 70 stalls built temporarily in the shadow of Chester’s Victorian Gothic town hall and medieval cathedral, visitors will find traditional German Christmas market offerings like bratwurst and mulled wine. Plus, local independent traders selling scented candles, fudge, and much more.
