This German style market provides a festive treat for all the family – there’s traditional German Christmas fare – Glühwein (spicy mulled wine) and bratwurst (German sausage) and lots of other fabulous foods and drinks (try the stollen  – German fruit cake – if you’ve not had it before. Mm, delicious).

The stalls also have plenty of gifts and decorations to buy in good time for Christmas. Handmade toys, jewellery, speciality foods and lots more.

And the atmosphere is completed by the lights and decorations. Great for all the family – and an exciting treat for the kids.
