With December upon us, Brits up and down the country are getting into the Christmas spirit.
While the vast majority of us look forward to the festive period, a survey once found that one UK city was a lot less enthusiastic.
The nationwide poll found that the people of Norwich hate Christmas more than any other city in the UK despite being one of the best places to visit during festivities.
Nottingham was second with 10% saying they don’t enjoy Christmas. Next was Leeds in third.
Edinburgh, Manchester, and Canterbury were the next three cities with a negative view of the festive period.
At the other end of the spectrum, Peterborough was found to be the most enthusiastic about Christmas, with 60% saying they love it.
The survey was carried out in 2017, but it appears Norwich is now embracing the Christmas spirit.
This year, a three-day Christmas market is being held at The Shoe Factory Social Club at St Mary’s Works in the city.
There are more than 50 stalls each day selling handmade gifts, homewares, prints, art, fashion, ceramics, woodwork, candles, skincare, cards and wrapping paper.
Rosie Nolan, the event organiser, said: “We love The Shoe Factory for its history and industrial feel.
“Some of our traders have parents or grandparents who used to work at the factory when it was still producing shoes.
“Now they come here to sell the things that they make.
“Once the space is filled with all of the makers, music and people it has such a great vibe.”
Which says that the best cities in the UK to visit for Christma markets are: Bath, Chester, Durham, Winchester, Wells, Liverpool, Edinburgh, York, and Belfast.
