Throughout December 2011
Location: St. Enoch Square, Glasgow
If stressing in overcrowded shopping centres, lugging bags like a pack-horse, tripping over buggies and fighting over the last box of Christmas crackers sounds like a big Christmas nightmare, why not try a shopping trip with a difference.
Christmas markets are becoming increasingly popular throughout the UK, inspired by those in Germany and Eastern Europe. Traders from all over the continent come to sell their wonderful wares, from tasty treats to beautiful arts and crafts including jewellery, hats & gloves, candles and ornaments, and unusual toys. The markets are not just an opportunity to shop, but also to get into the Christmas spirit: take an evening trip, wrapped up in your winter woollies and get some mulled wine.
This year Glasgow welcomes back the popular Christmas Market to St Enoch Square, right in the city centre. Enjoy wood-crafted cabins, a beautiful Christmas tree, traditional music and carols, or simply sit back and relax with a glass of mulled wine, some tasty goulash or continental sweets.

How can i hire a stall in the Christmas Market at St Enochs Square of Glasgow please?
The organisers are xmas-markets.com – there is a contact page on their website where you’ll be able to get in touch.
Well i think Sophie n Muir are talking nonsense!! the
market (as far as i remember) is in the square at St Enochs which
is covered in fun quirky stalls and then further along argyle
street there is more so stop bloody grumbling!!! It hardly says
that its a market with thousands of stalls – its rustic and inimate
and very Scottish so shut up an go elsehwere!
Hi
i would totally agree with Sophie
This was a pooor , non market
Advertising is completely wrong
well… this can hardly be called a xmas market… there are so few stalls ! 3 or 4 stall to eat, 2-3 jewellery, 1 hat and scarves, 2 other things…
I went to see it last week and would not waste anymore time going there… if you want to see a proper xmas market, go see the one in edinburgh… at least you’ll have a choice of stalls and proper gofts to buy…
please do better next year !
i was very disapointed
I was not really aware that they do Christmas Markets in the UK, I have been to the german christmas markets before a few times. I am in the UK this Decemeber, really looking forward to seeing one here.
