Bath Christmas Markets – the Premier Christmas Shopping Event
Bath Christmas Market, the internationally renowned festive gift market is set to go ahead in its tenth year in December 2010, and with the event growing in popularity year on year, now is the perfect time to start planning your visit.
123 traditional wooden chalets full of everything you’ll need to prepare for the perfect Christmas will occupy the Abbey Churchyard area, a magical setting in the shadow of Bath Abbey and next to the Roman Baths right in the centre of the stunning Georgian city’s shopping district.
If you are looking for something extra special to make your Christmas perfect, Bath Christmas Market is the place you’ll find it, with all of the retailers selling unique, handcrafted items, many of which are made in the local area and the South West, giving the event a very individual identity. Festive food and drink, decorations, jewellery, accessories, crafts and children’s toys are all abundant, and with such a huge range of gift ideas any prospective present buyer will be spoilt for choice – even for those family members who are normally impossible to buy for!
With the market as the highlight, the UNESCO World Heritage city of Bath is fast becoming known as ‘the Christmas City’ – the perfect place to visit in the run up to Christmas. As well as fantastic shopping with a great mix of high street stores and a high proportion of individual independent shops, Bath offers a number of events providing even more reasons to come again or to plan to stay longer.
