BELFAST

Making a welcome return to the
grounds of Belfast City Hall, the
Christmas Market is a celebration
of festive sights, sounds and aromas
from across the globe. Take in the
stunning views across the market
from the top of the vintage Helter
Skelter, a wonderful, whizzing
experience for the kids. Visit over
90 beautiful wooden chalets and
drink in the atmosphere as you
make your way around this festive
village featuring food, crafts,
entertainment and two bars.

Millennium Square becomes
a magical winter village, with
over 40 traditional chalets selling
gifts from authentic German
traders. The centrepiece of
the market is the Alp Chalet
Bavarian-styled eatery, which,
along with the Kuh Stall and the
Ski Hutte bar, provides a cosy
retreat offering a delicious choice
of traditional German food and
drink and authentic evening
entertainment.
MANCHESTER
9th Nov-22nd Dec
Stay up north for further festive
fun in the city of Manchester,
with the main market hub
situated in Albert Square,
twinkling beneath the town hall.
Follow the trail of market stalls
through the city centre to find
little Christmas gems – including
amber jewellery, Belgian
chocolate and French soaps. This
was the most Instagrammed
Christmas market in the UK in
2017, so you’re guaranteed to find
plenty of festive photo-ops too.
