The Best Christmas Markets in Lancashire

Next Post

It’s the ‘most wonderful time of the year’ in Lancashire, and the county is gearing up for the festive season in style. It’s the perfect location for a getaway Yuletide break in a luxury cottage, but just because you’re away from home doesn’t mean you can’t have festive treats galore – and where better to find them than at the county’s many Christmas markets? Here is a selection of the best Christmas markets in Lancashire:

Bright Lights, Big City

Manchester is one of the UK’s most important cities, and its Christmas fairs prove just how quickly this location has become a major tourist venue as well as a fascinating city to visit. From mid-November through to just before Christmas, winter fairs spring up all over the city, including Albert Square, Brazennose Street, St Ann’s Square, Exchange Street, New Cathedral Street, The Corn Exchange, and Corporation Street. With over 300 stalls selling everything from local Lancashire produce through to hand-made crafts and jewellery, it’s a great chance to do some serious retail therapy but with that intimate and distinctly festive feel you get with a traditional Christmas market.

Pendle Hippodrome and Brockholes

At the end of November the annual Arts, Crafts and Gifts fair at Pendle Hippodrome theatre is a great opportunity to discover the craftspeople and artisans of the county.

Over at Samlesbury, near Preston, you’ll discover another vintage Christmas market at Brockholes. There’s plenty of street food on offer to keep you fuelled up as you explore the 100 stalls, while children’s entertainers keep the kids amused.

Winter Art

Over at Lytham St Annes a wonderful winter fair brings together the county’s best artists for a display of talent. For art lovers it’s an ideal opportunity to pick up something a little more individual and unique for a really special gift.

A Special Event in a Special Part of the County

Bowland is an area of outstanding natural beauty that really comes into its own in the winter months. Beautiful country walks and plenty of opportunities to explore the surrounding area also present an ideal excuse for a hot toddy or mug of hot chocolate afterwards in one of its many inns and pubs. But if that wasn’t enough of a reason to head to the Ribble valley and Bowland, then why not add a visit to the monthly Artisans fair at Browsholme Hall? The December Food and Craft Fair (held on 14th December this year) is an excuse to indulge in the best food and drink on offer, as well as picking up some unique and beautiful pieces by local craftsmen. The perfect start to your festive break in Lancashire.
