What visitors sayGoogle 4.1 ★ · 1,609 reviews
Often named one of the best in Europe, and visitors agree on the setting: the lit cathedral makes it feel like a Christmas card, with genuinely creative stalls. The complaints are crowding in one cramped section and tourist prices for food.
The prettiest Christmas market in England — a day trip from London by train, ideally on a weekday.
