Christmas 2017: Festive Fun in Bath, England
Living the festive dream.
Being
in Bath, I was pretty excited to see what it would look like at
Christmas time. I had memories of the Christmas market from a visit a
few years ago, but that's about it. And I can now tell you that at
Christmas time, with the shining lights, trees and carols in the
streets, Bath is even more wonderful than usual. Problem is, there
are thousands of other people who would like to see it too. And in a
small place like Bath, it quickly becomes just as crowded as it is on
Oxford Street. Especially
around the Christmas market...
The
Bath Christmas Market is a big event each year and so many people
come to visit it. Around the abbey, the stalls sell Christmas
decorations, chocolate, roasted chestnuts, mulled wine... All the
Christmas classics gathered around the town centre.
But
there are other amazing things to see around Bath at Christmas. The
shops get their best window displays, lights brighten up the streets,
and you'll often stumble upon Christmas carols when you least expect
it.
I
enjoyed walking around, camera in hand, to take snaps of all the
festive decorations in town. As someone who walked past me as I was
taking the photo below said, "there is too much to photograph!"
On
my way I stopped at the Fudge Kitchen, to get a little something for
my boyfriend's family and mine. You can see the fudge being prepared
in front of you and the people there are happy to make you try out
all the different flavours they sell before you make your choice. I
got a selection of peanut butter chocolate, salted dark chocolate,
lemon sherbet fudge and a couple more that I can't quite remember
now. Fudge is a great Christmas treat to have on the dinner table for
a sweet treat!
What's your favourite Christmas market?

Michelstadt, close by to where I live, is my favorite market. Yes, it is crowded too, but I try to tell myself that will keep me warm...
