Bristol Christmas Market has around 50 stalls transforming Broadmead into a winter wonderland for seven weeks. The German-themed attraction always brings in tens of thousands of people to the city centre for Christmas shopping and festive merriment.
This year, Bristol Christmas Market will be supporting two local charities. The Grand Appeal – the Bristol Children’s Hospital Charity and leading homelessness charity St Mungo’s have been chosen as the Christmas Markets first ever charity partners. The organisers have installed beautifully illuminated Christmas units inviting guests to take a free selfie as a memory of their visit to the Christmas Market, and to make a donation to one of the two charities, using contactless payment units.
The Bavarian-themed Jägerbarn Bar will be making its return offering under cover seating during those cold nights when you fancy a festive drink or two. From Thursdays to Sundays, visitors will be treated to a selection of exceptional live music from a variety of performers, which is perfect for getting into the festive spirit.
