New for 2008:

This year for the first time, we will have a ‘British Contemporary Crafts Village’ where genuine professional designers and makers of contemporary crafts will be selling their work. These small businesses will be bringing all kinds of wonderful, affordable crafts for those looking for that more imaginative and original gift.

Despite only being in its third year, the Winchester Cathedral Christmas Market has already earned itself a reputation for being one of the loveliest in the country. Stunningly located against backdrop of the Cathedral, prettily clustered around a real outdoor ice-rink, and inspired by traditional German Christmas Markets, the Winchester Christmas Market is a perfect visual feast. With 82 wooden chalets this year, all beautifully decorated with swags and pea lights, visitors will find them full of inspiring, unusual and tasteful gifts and foods carefully selected from across Britain and Europe.

But this is not all! To read more please go to ‘About the Market’
