Running for a whole month leading upto the big day, you will find food, drink, crafts and presents at the Christmas markets. Bradford Centenary Square is once again hosting the German markets and it is here you can settle down to enjoy a hot cup of mulled wine, or grab a bite to eat with one of their bratwurst hot dogs.

Shop Till You Drop
If you’re looking to buy presents that are a little more unusual, then you should check out the Christmas markets. Bradford has plenty of high street shopping on offer but these little stalls sell homemade crafts, bespoke jewellery and even toys for the children.

A Christmas Carol
There will be plenty of live music and entertainment at the Christmas markets. Bradford city centre will have music floating around in the air and you will even hear some of your favourite carols as there are going to be special carol-singing sessions.

Late Night Opening
Don’t worry if you have to work throughout the day and at weekends, you can still finish work and get down in time to catch the German Christmas markets. Bradford late night shoppers can still mosey around the stalls until 9pm, every night. If you fancy making a night of it afterwards – you’re in the right place. You can take your pick from all the bars, restaurants and club events that take place nearby.

The Christmas markets, Bradford, are open 11am-9pm, Saturday 21st November-Monday 21st December 2009.
