We been here before a couple of year ago and were wowed then but now it's bigger and a lot better than before. The old rides and stuff are there but there's more stalls and santa land at the bottom. Beware everything is 5 pound or above but this place comes to life in the dark. The smells and atmosphere is amazing. It's a must.

Boyfriend and i found the markets ourselves were fab,plenty of stalls to taste and eat frm,we did alot of tasting than eating as to be honest found it bit expensive for some food aswel as rides! !
beer pub we found was great craic with beer frm £4.50pint not too bad with a great guy singing that pulled in and kept the crowd rightly.

We had a girls trip from Newcastle via the train. We found the market really easy to find. There were lots of people and found it hard to see all the stalls with all the people pushing each other. We had a buggy with us and it was a bit hard to get it around the market. I would recommend people to visit and make their own opinion.

Thank you for your feedback! It’s great to hear the market was easy to find and added to your girls' trip experience. We understand navigating with a buggy in a crowded space can be challenging, but it’s wonderful you still recommend others to visit and explore for themselves!

A nice wander through the streets, but be aware that it is a WALKING tour and you will walk from your hotel (or wherever you want to start), there will be no car picking you up. Saw all the Christmas lights that we wanted to see and we went to both Christmas markets. Guide also pointed out plenty of good restaurants and pretty sights we wouldn't have seen on our own.
