Christmas festivities are getting underway across the North West. Panto, light trails and of course the markets.
Liverpool’s well-known Christmas Market has made its return to St George’s Plateau, offering the familiar blend of twinkling lights, craft stalls, fairground rides and many different foods. This year, the city’s festive stalls have been named as one of the best in the country by ‘Which?’.
Stalls are back in place outside of St George’s Hall, offering the familiar blend of twinkling lights, craft stalls, fairground rides and many different foods. This year, the city’s festive stalls have been named as one of the best in the country by ‘Which?’.
Although the market’s popularity is undeniable, with people still travelling to visit, for some the prices may be too much. A classic mulled wine on some of the stalls is £6.50 while a Bratwurst is £9.
For those pursuing a more low-key, budget-friendly festive outing, a group in Warrington is offering a heart-warming community market as an alternative. The event, which is being held in Woolston, is looking to be more modest but equally charming with stalls that consist of local and small businesses, a Santa’s Grotto and fairground rides- ideal for families looking to save a little money without sacrificing the festive atmosphere.
Kate Chu, one of the organisers from KCArtisan, said: “The community in Woolston have asked for it, because they don’t want to be trekking to Manchester and Liverpool to go to the Christmas markets.
“They don’t want to spend a fortune, they want somewhere more family friendly, for the children to enjoy, so I think it will be a really positive thing for the community.” The ‘Warrington Christmas Extravaganza’ is on at Monks, Sunday 7th December, 11am to 7pm.
