Winter is almost here and so is the festive season; many people will already be planning to head to a  Christmas market. Not only is it a great way to immerse yourself in the Christmas magic, it is also a great way to pick out unique, handmade presents for your loved ones.

Express.co.uk has put together a list of the top eight Christmas markets across the UK, from the cosy to the extravagant. Whether you prefer handcrafted goods and picturesque backdrops, or delicious food stalls and jaw-dropping rides, there’s a Christmas market for you.

Bath Christmas Market

Bath Christmas Market is known as one of the best in the UK and in Europe. It is located in the UNESCO World Heritage city and visitors can enjoy the charming cobbled streets and the picturesque Bath Abbey, which adds to the magical atmosphere. 

This year’s event will run from November 27 to December 14. From Monday to Wednesday the opening hours are 10am to 7pm, and from Thursday to Saturday the market remains open for an hour later, closing at 8pm. 

The market promises “twinkling chalets, unique gifts, and gourmet food and drink to tantalise the tastebuds”.
