Christmas markets

Good day everyone!

So in my last post I said I'd post about my weekend going to Durham for their Christmas market.

Even though it was horrendously windy last weekend, the market was still on, thankfully! Although, the noises the marquee was making were quite terrifying!

The market was lovely. We go every year and we absolutely love it! There's always loads of nice food stalls: cheese, puddings, breads, and beverage stalls: vodka, wine, gin, mulled wine.

We wander round and have a few samples, as you do, grabbed a glass of mulled wine and mooched around a bit more!

There were really nice jewellery stalls, I could have spent an absolute fortune on all the stuff they had there! 

At the Durham Christmas Market, they always have a food market in the Cloisters surrounding the cathedral. Although it was freezing and windy outside, the Cloisters was full! Full of people and full of stall holders selling their amazing goodies!

Sausages, pies, breads, cakes, brownies, meats, the list could go on forever! The Cloisters smelled amazing!

The market always has a lovely atmosphere. So many people come from all over the country just to visit this market, and having gone for the last few years, it's easy to see why.

We'll no doubt be going again next year!

Next weekend, we're going up to Edinburgh as a family, which is something else we do every year! We love Edinburgh in this family! They always have a typical German market on and it's so fantastic! More mulled wine, more food samples, more amazing gifts for people (or myself) for Christmas!

There'll be a blog about that too!

If you've been to any Christmas markets that you'd recommend I visit, please leave a comment below!

Until the next time :) xx

  1. Harrogate Christmas market is great, bit further to go than Durham but worth a day out. We went on an organised trip through Omega Travel (I think that was the company?!) The market sells Yorkshire home produce and again lots of things to sample!
