Christmas Shopping!- Merry Markets


It’s that time of year again. Christmas has crept up on us and its time to pull out that shrunken Christmas jumper that Auntie Bettie got you three years ago. More importantly however, its time to start Christmas shopping; and Where better to get that Christmas buzz then the streets of Sheffield.




Sheffield has always been famous for its amazingly diverse markets. At one time Sheffield had 7.
This year the Christmas market is being held in the city centre from the 18th of November to the 23rd of December. The market features over 70 stalls. Including quaint log cabin style stalls in the peace gardens around a picturesque open air ice rink. Wether you’re after some hearty Christmas nosh, or a presents for those hard to buy for relatives – this is the place to be.

Also Worth a mention is the Botanical Gardens Christmas market just out of the city centre held this year between December 9 – 11. This event is held in the evenings due to the magical illuminated gardens. The event includes an enchanted fairy land and traditional rides along side craft and refreshment stalls.

Whatever you’re doing this year; make sure you drop by at the merry markets of Sheffield this Christmas.
