St Nicholas Markets is the place to be for a magical Christmas experience. Step into Santa’s grotto to meet Santa and receive a gift or explore the festive outdoor markets – a family friendly place to discover handmade crafts and enjoy delicious street food.
With up to 40 traders lining Corn Street and Wine Street, the outdoor Christmas markets include 10 decorated traditional wooden chalets selling a range of gifts, crafts, fashion, accessories and food.
No Christmas is complete without a visit to see Santa, so why not book your place to visit him in his grotto and receive a special gift.
Councillor Andrew Brown, Chair of the Economy and Skills Committee, said: “With Christmas fast approaching, now is the perfect time to discover what St Nick’s has to offer. It’s a great place for all the family, with something there for everyone, whether you want to shop, eat and drink or just soak up the atmosphere and enjoy its history.
“With a diverse range of stalls and shops, the Markets offer a unique shopping experience in the city centre, and with so many independent traders it’s a great way to shop more sustainably and ethically, and support local independent businesses.”
The Christmas markets has received money from the UK government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, and funding from the West of England Mayoral Combined Authority.
