Christmas is one of the most widely celebrated holidays throughout the UK, and the region really goes all-out with its Christmas markets.
London boasts a number of Christmas markets, but the city’s Winter Wonderland is one of our all-time favorites. The huge market covers almost all of Hyde Park and is packed full of activities and attractions you won’t find anywhere else.
Step back in time and experience a traditional Christmas at the Bath Christmas Market. One of the most beautiful and festive Christmas markets in the UK, the Bath Christmas Market is spread out all across the town center.
Another great choice if you prefer traditional markets over today’s modern equivalent, the Christmas market in Stratford-upon-Avon is the closest thing you’ll get to living in Victorian times outside of a high school history textbook.
One of the most impressive Christmas markets in Northern Ireland, the Belfast Christmas Market is set on the grounds of city hall and is a fantastic place for foodies.
If you want to experience a stellar Christmas market in London but don’t want to wait in the long lines that are almost inevitable in Winter Wonderland, head for Christmas in Leicester Square.
