Learning about Christmas Markets
Christmas markets started off in the Middle Ages, in order to enhance the spirit of the season, by allowing families to shop, eat, and spend time together. A lot of markets are held from the last week of November till the end of December. These markets have arts and crafts, decorative items, wine, and food. It is a great opportunity for the local people to showcase their talent, since the market has homemade stuff like baked goods, candles, and nutcrackers.
There are a number of places that you can visit in the UK, which are suitable for people who don’t want to travel far. The Winter Wonderland in London’s Hyde Park receives thousands of visitors every year, who travel to attend the four day festivities. Other Christmas markets are held in Oxford, Bournemouth, Birmingham, Glasgow, and Leeds. It doesn’t matter where you go, as long as you explore all the stalls, and try the delicious food in order to experience the true holiday spirit.
