Bristol’s good cheer extends to our Christmas Markets, stretching from the Harbourside all the way to Bristol Shopping Quarter.
With so much choice, you certainly won’t be short on gift ideas. Follow the smell of churros and bratwurst to Bristol Christmas Market, where you’ll find festive stalls selling everything from sweet treats to Christmas crafts, plus live music and entertainment from Santa and his reindeer. Shopped-out visitors can warm up with mulled wine in the Jäger Barn Bar, or book one of the cosy private Igloo Pods or Ski Gondolas.
The Bristol Pop-Up Shop is back at The Galleries until Christmas Eve, showcasing gifts from talented local makers, artists and designers. Expect beautiful illustrations, handcrafted homeware, elegant stationery, adult and kids clothing, fun craft kits, handmade ceramics, edible delights and more.
There’s sled-loads of good ol’ fashioned Christmas cheer to be had at St Nicholas Market. The permanent indoor buildings and outdoor stalls of the market are home to the largest collection of independent retailers in the city. It’s a perfect spot for gift ideas and delicious seasonal food. For homemade and organic festive goodies, pop down to the themed outdoor markets, running alongside the daily Christmas stalls.
Made in Bristol's Gift Fair returns to the glittering foyer at Bristol Beacon on 23 November, as well as 7 & 14 December, showcasing three floors of talented designer-makers. From super stocking fillers to grander gifts for a special someone, you'll find an eclectic range of locally made artisan products including jewellery, toys, ceramics, prints and home accessories.
You can also look for festive gifts and goodies at the Harbourside Christmas Market, as well as numerous other gift fairs, pop-up shops and markets.
