Christmas markets in England in December
When planning your holiday in England in December, you can enjoy the wonderful Christmas spirit that ordinary words cannot describe. However, when organizing a tourist trip, it is recommended that you familiarize yourself with the program that is offered in each large and small city.
- The Lincoln Fair is held on a cobbled old square between a Norman castle and a Gothic cathedral. The format of the event is reminiscent of traditional German Christmas markets. This can be explained by the fact that Lincoln works closely with the German city of Neustadt. Tourists are offered English and German jewelry, souvenirs, sweets and drinks. The number of annual visitors to the fair reaches 150 thousand.
- The Manchester fair is not recommended for shopping, but for the amazing Christmas spirit. Local merchants are dressed in medieval clothing. Every year the local bazaar is getting bigger. There are about 200 stalls in the gastronomic part. In addition, people are offered Christmas decorations, souvenirs and cute toys.
- Winchester was the capital of England in the early Middle Ages. From this time on, local Christmas markets began to gradually become popular. The city authorities annually flood part of the square with ice, making it a skating rink. Medieval architecture, Christmas spirit and outdoor activities are sure to make your walk amazing.
