any decent christmas markets? not manchester!

Lincoln's Christmas market is supposed to be really nice. My missus has wanted to go for the last 12 years. If you try it, let me know if it's decent.

Chester is not a bad visit this time of year , they usually have carol singers and a market in the main square . In a nicer setting than M/cr went on the Saturday before xmas last year , expensive as it is its a lot better than going to town . Same tat more authentic setting

They are Chistmas markets how can Chester be a more authentic setting than Manchester.

Ye Olde England stylee . Bit more of an effort as the chrimbo market is still the same as it was last year ,apart from moving around the vendors you can still get a dreamcatcher ,snow globe, polish bratwurst ,urmston dutch pancakes,chorizo , continental cheeses and biscuits sold cheaper in polish shops,aldi and llidl fare . Just in a really nice and pleasant surroundings without bumping into a dozen shop owners that you know from round our way that shopped in Makro and Bookers . ;)

Just a little different and what the OP was asking about

Went to Leeds a few years back, it was ok for an hour but the same as M/cr but the staff had Yorkshire accents .

The Leeds one has a massive indoor bar serving 2 pint glasses and an oompah band playing- which is nice

Sounds about right as they all look the same. ;)

Go to Aldi. Buy bratwurst, bread rolls, mulled wine. Warm up as per instructions.

Get fourteen other people, Take £10 off them, give them a bratwurst a gluwein and tell them to keep the mug. Then cram everyone into the cupboard under the stairs.

Hey presto your own authentic Christmas Market.

You may want to get some continental style bisuits and sweets from Aldi and ask for seven times more than you paid for them too.

You forgot to mention buying a pram and ramming their ankles with it.

We used to do Shrewsbury every December, there's a stall that does excellent home made mulled cider. Smaller than most markets, but a bit more quaint. Plus you still have you high street shops too. Take you about an hour and a half from Manchester, go down the A49 though rather than the M6, if you can, much quieter.

They also have a motorbike parade through the streets in December, great sight to see and hear.

Oh well... just checked and both were last weekend.
