Get ready to step into a sparkling winter wonderland as Bristol’s much-loved Christmas Market returns with more festive cheer than ever before. Whether you’re visiting with family, friends, or flying solo, there’s something magical waiting for everyone.

A Festive Tradition Since 2008

Founded to bring the charm of European-style markets to the heart of the city, Bristol Christmas Market has grown into one of the region’s top seasonal attractions — blending tradition with Bristol’s creative spirit.

More Than Just Shopping

Wander through rows of traditional wooden chalets brimming with artisan crafts, handmade gifts, and unique decorations. Support local makers and international traders while finding one-of-a-kind presents.

Feast Like Father Christmas

From sizzling German bratwurst to Yorkshire pudding wraps, hog roasts, and Asian noodles — the food line-up is a festive feast. Sweet treats include crepes, churros, doughnuts, crumbles, and warming drinks like hot chocolate and coffee.

Raise a Glass at the Jäger Barn Bar

Step into a mini Alpine escape with Glühwein, mulled cider, Baileys hot chocolate, and indulgent bites like fondue and baked camembert in sourdough. Book a cosy ski gondola or — new for 2025 — a hot-air balloon table inspired by Bristol’s ballooning heritage.

Pre-Order Festive Feasts in Style

Make your visit unforgettable by reserving a private Ski Gondola or Hot-Air Balloon Table for 6–8 guests. These magical booths offer a warm retreat and a delicious pre-ordered menu delivered straight to your table.

Pre-Order Menu Highlights:

•  Rich Cheese Fondue with crusty bread, pickles & dipping veg
•  Baked Camembert in Sourdough
•  Artisan Cheese Board with crackers, chutneys & fruit
•  Charcuterie Boards with cured meats & pickles

Each booking lasts 90 minutes, with the final slot at 8pm. Well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome in gondolas.

New Surprises & Sparkling Sights

Hop on the brand-new Christmas Tree Ride for a dazzling view of the market lights or snap selfies under oversized illuminated decorations. Expect magical moments around every corner.

Sounds of the Season

From Thursday to Sunday, enjoy live festive music at the Jäger Barn stage — carols, covers, and sing-along classics from talented local musicians.
