We detail them all in our guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightside-travel.com\/en\/guides\/the-best-christmas-markets-in-england\/\">Christmas markets in England<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">London<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In London, Winter Wonderland takes over Hyde Park with an ice rink, shows, and rides. Other smaller markets also pop up in neighborhoods, such as Kingston upon Thames. Find the addresses in our guide. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightside-travel.com\/en\/guides\/london-christmas-markets\/\">Christmas markets in London<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bath and York<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bath brings together more than 200 chalets around its abbey and Roman baths. However, its market lasts less than three weeks, from November 26th to December 13th. York, on the other hand, sets up its St. Nicholas Fair in its medieval center, on Parliament Street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Birmingham, Manchester and Chester<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Birmingham opens the season with a large, German-inspired market in Victoria Square and New Street. Manchester then spreads its chalets across several squares in the city center. Finally, Chester sets up its stalls in Town Hall Square, among its half-timbered houses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Christmas markets in Scotland<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Scotland, Edinburgh&#039;s Christmas market first sets up in Princes Street Gardens, at the foot of the castle, with a Ferris wheel and an ice rink on George Street. It remains open until January 3rd, then continues with Hogmanay, the Scottish New Year. All our tips can be found in our guide to... <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightside-travel.com\/en\/guides\/edinburgh-christmas-market\/\">Edinburgh Christmas Market<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Glasgow opens the first Christmas Village in Scotland on November 6th in St Enoch Square, then adds an ice rink in Glasgow Green from November 20th. Aberdeen, meanwhile, sets up its Christmas Village on Broad Street. Compare these cities in our guide to... <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightside-travel.com\/en\/guides\/christmas-markets-scotland\/\">Christmas markets in Scotland<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Christmas market in Wales<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Cardiff, the Christmas market showcases Welsh crafts in the city center. It&#039;s open from November 12th to December 23rd, 2026. Afterwards, take the opportunity to explore the rest of the country with our guide. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightside-travel.com\/en\/guides\/what-to-see-in-wales\/\">What to see in Wales<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Christmas market in Northern Ireland<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Belfast, the Continental Market occupies the City Hall gardens, with free entry. Additionally, the Giant&#039;s Causeway is easily accessible on a day trip from the city. See our guide for more information.\u2019<a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightside-travel.com\/en\/guides\/northern-ireland-what-to-see\/\">Northern Ireland<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dublin is not part of the United Kingdom, but it&#039;s about a two-hour train ride from Belfast. So explore it too! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightside-travel.com\/en\/guides\/christmas-in-dublin\/\">Christmas in Dublin<\/a> and our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightside-travel.com\/en\/guides\/christmas-markets-ireland\/\">Christmas markets in Ireland<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which Christmas markets in the UK should you choose?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Therefore, the choice depends mainly on your dates and preferences. Here are our guidelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li>Historical setting: Bath, York, Chester and Winchester.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Large, bustling cities: London, Manchester and Birmingham.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Extended season: Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Winter Wonderland, open until January 3.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>For families: Winter Wonderland in London and the funfair at West Princes Street Gardens in Edinburgh.<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Combining several Christmas markets in the United Kingdom<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Indeed, the train remains the easiest way to travel between cities in winter. From London, for example, York is about two hours away by train, and Edinburgh is four and a half hours away. Furthermore, Bath is less than an hour and a half from the capital, making a day trip possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A five- to seven-day trip allows you to combine two or three cities. For example, combine London, Bath, and York, or York and Edinburgh via the East Coast.

Most, however, close between December 21st and 24th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"brightside-cta-devis\" style=\"background:#faf8f0;border-left:4px solid #384229;border-radius:6px;padding:24px;margin:32px 0\"><p style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-size:1.2em;font-weight:700;color:#1b1f13\">Fancy a trip to the UK or Ireland?<\/p><p style=\"margin:0 0 16px;color:#1b1f13\">Our team, based in Edinburgh since 2012, designs your tailor-made itinerary and accompanies you throughout your stay.<\/p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightside-travel.com\/en\/request-a-quote\/\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#384229;color:#ffffff;font-weight:600;padding:14px 24px;border-radius:6px;text-decoration:none\">Get my free quote<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently asked questions about Christmas markets in the United Kingdom<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When will the Christmas markets open in the UK in 2026?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Indeed, Birmingham opens first, on November 5, 2026, followed by Glasgow and Manchester on November 6. Most of the other markets then open between November 12 and 26.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which markets remain open after Christmas?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Kingston and Winter Wonderland in London remain open until January 3, 2027. However, they generally close on December 25.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the largest Christmas market in the UK?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bath has over 200 chalets, and Manchester around 210 stalls spread throughout the city centre. Birmingham and Winter Wonderland also attract very large crowds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is entry to the Christmas markets free?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, for most city centre markets. Only certain attractions require payment, such as ice rinks, Ferris wheels or some illuminated trails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How many days should I allow for a trip around the Christmas markets?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Generally, allow two to three days per city. To combine two or three cities by train, therefore, plan for five to seven days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Travel to the Christmas markets in the UK with Brightside Travel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Indeed, our experts live locally and know each market intimately.
