Is there anything better
to get you in a festive mood than a Christmas market? They bring together
everything that is best about the time of the year. Great food and drink, local
handicrafts and a warm atmosphere. And because they are often outside, they are
one of the most accessible activities you can enjoy this time of year.

But while we’ve seen a
rise in the number of the markets over recent years, they’re not all created
equal. And at a time of year when time and money is at a premium, you don’t
want to be wasting either.
