Christmas Markets

This year you can expect to see a lot more of the Christmas Markets as the sheds of delight return bigger and more crammed than ever before. Indeed, last year they saw nine million visitors in the run up to Christmas. That's a lot of goat cheese!

A couple of new sites expand the markets across the centre, taking in the newly re-opened Corn Exchange for example, so there's no escaping the smell of the gluhwein, so get a large glass, get your money out and buy things.

Listings for all sites are:
