Last year I visited Bath Christmas Market with Fran, and this year I've spent far more evenings than I care to admit sipping on hot chocolate at the one in Bournemouth. A couple of weekends ago I even branched out, cheated on my local, and wandered a new one: Oxford.
Now, I'm sure we're all very much aware that Oxford is an incredibly pretty city. The shopping there is also pretty good (hello, can we talk about that shopping centre?!) meaning I had really high hopes for a wander around at Christmas.
The market was all along one street meaning it was pretty packed. So, warning alert - if you're not a fan of crowds this is DEFINITELY not the market for you. On a slightly lighter note, I'm very pleased with the photos I managed to snap whilst the masses were doing their Christmas shopping - it doesn't look chaotically busy, does it?
The market trip started with the most important stop; lunch!
Nina and I both ordered a Bratwurst and lemme tell you, they were amazing. I might even go as far as to say the best bratwurst I've ever had... Sausage lovers? Hit up Oxford.
As for the stalls, there were lots of different stalls selling all sorts of products. There were candles, chocolates, mugs, chutneys, skincare, and socks to name but a few. My favourite stalls were the ones selling Christmas decorations - what a surprise! I also looove the smell of those dried festive fruit garlands you can buy at this time of year. Can that be the scent of my entire house for the whole of December, please?
I didn't actually pick anything up at the market this year, shock horror, but I had a fantastic day nonetheless!
Which is your favourite Christmas Market?
