UK CHRISTMAS MARKETS

Stalls decked in twinkling lights, the sound of carols and the waft of roasting chestnuts

BATH

Row upon row of fairy-lit wooden chalets line the streets around the Roman Baths and stunning Abbey in Bath's city centre, selling a selection of artisan gifts. With an emphasis on sustainability (reducing single-use plastics) and community support (there are several charity chalets), the market has plenty to tempt shoppers, with local crafts, delicious street food and tasty tipples. 27 November-14 December; bathchristmasmarket.co.uk.
