Winchester Christmas Market

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

At the beginning of the month, I went to Winchester in Hampshire, England. I used to live near here for a few years, so I know Winchester very well. At this time of the year, the Winchester Christmas Market is on for a few weeks. The last time that I went was a few years ago, and I covered it here. Not much has changed. This time, I visited it on a weekday to avoid the crowds. The Christmas market is very busy on weekends. Crafts, soap, clothing, toys, home decorations, Christmas decorations, alcohol, cheese, and food is available at the Christmas market. There is also an ice rink. The Christmas Market is located in the close around Winchester Cathedral.

After visiting the Christmas market, we walked toward Winchester High Street, admiring the views of the cathedral lit up behind us. And, I always stop to text a name to the light sculpture (Luminous Motion) to change the colour of the steel light pillar at the other end of the cathedral.

The High Street has a Christmas tree in the market square near the market cross.

Each year, the Winchester Christmas Market is usually on from the last week or two of November until a few days before Christmas.
