With twinkling lights, bustling stalls and a joyful buzz throughout the city, it’s an easy way to feel properly festive in just one day.

With comfortable coach travel and a full day to enjoy the market, this Christmas day trip is a relaxed and enjoyable way to start the festive season — no planning, no parking, just Christmas cheer from start to finish.
