In the UK, it’s long been a tradition to enjoy the festive season by doing a series of activities, such as ice skating, visiting Santa’s Grotto, and picking out a Christmas tree with the help of an elf, and, of course – visiting one of the best Christmas markets in the UK in 2022! Indeed, the UK’s cheerful festive Christmas markets have worked so hard at mirroring the Xmas fairs Germany and Austria are famous for, that they can easily hold their own now. They provide a beautiful and comforting atmosphere once night sets in. Wooden stalls beautifully decorated with twinkling fairy lights, tantalising aromas of sweet dishes and spiced mulled wine, fairground rides and ice-skating rinks will put both parents and children into a festive mood. So, without further ado, here is a roundup of some of the best Christmas markets in the UK this season:

If you crave German foods, such as Bratwurst, Bavarian pretzels, Schnitzel, Stollen, or roasted almonds while sipping mulled wine and listening to holiday carols, this is the place to be. The largest German Christmas market outside of Austria or Germany consists of around 50 stalls offering not just delicious German foods, but also wheat bear, mulled wine, and hot chocolate, as well as toys, gingerbread hearts, jewellery, handcrafted gifts, and magical Xmas decorations. 2. Finest craftsmanship at Cardiff How lovely it would be to support local and independent crafts this season of giving. That’s the spirit that’s alive and kicking in Cardiff. The Christmas market here has been around for close to 30 years now. With over 200 stalls, it brings delight and joy to young and old. Stalls change throughout the month of December, so it’s worth visiting more than once! Handmade soaps, beautiful glass trinkets, wood turned bowels, bespoke jewellery, original artwork, hand thrown pottery, handcrafted quilts and textiles, and traditional pewter gifts – the choice is amazing.

London never fails to amuse both locals and tourist with its grand Winter Wonderland event in Hyde Park. Everything here is on a huge scale, whether it’s the food and drink stalls, the fairground rides, or the circus shows. The Magical Ice Kingdom, a mythical ice palace, is made from 500 tonnes of beautifully sculptured ice and snow, an experience in itself. There really is something for kids of all ages, from the Teletubbies show to scary rides for the teens. Families will enjoy the Zippo’s Circus show and The Snowman cinema experience as well as UK’s largest outdoor ice rink. In the evenings, the younger folk turn up in groups, frequenting the bars and stalls. A cool place (pun intended) is Bar Ice, serving cocktails amongst other fancy drinks. Naturally, like anywhere in London, you can get just about any type of food or drink here at Winter Wonderland, including award-winning 3-course meals in pop up tents!

The historic market town puts on a vibrant fair, which attracts more than 350,000 visitors a year. Its wooden chalets sell authentic seasonal international treats, including stollen, German sausages, raclette, mince pies, mulled wine, and other tipples if you want to get merry. Crafts people sell their unique art here, from paintings and textiles to beautiful Christmas decorations. It’s a great place to shop for Christmas gifts without breaking the bank. Don’t miss the enchanting nativity scene at the far end of the crafts stalls. If you are feeling the chill, you can warm up in the Cathedral Refectory’s café and enjoy a heart-warming meal. To give you an idea of size – Winchester’s Xmas fair has over 100 stalls! 5. Manchester Christmas markets If you live up north or fancy a trip to Manchester, visiting the city in the weeks leading up to Christmas is an experience not to miss. Albert Square is undergoing major renovations, so the main Christmas market in 2022 will be in Piccadilly Gardens, which has been transformed into a beautiful winter garden, already a hit amongst visitors last year. Other Christmas markets not to miss are those in St Ann’s Square, Exchange Street, Market Street, King Street, New Cathedral Street and Exchange Square.
