Fun Activities in Bristol This Christmas

Fun Activities in Bristol This Christmas

Posted on: 19 Nov 2018

Bristol is bursting at the seams with activities all year round, and the festive season is no exception.

 

Bristol’s Christmas Markets

 

A Christmas market is the perfect place to start gift shopping for the festive period. With an array of unique and seasonal delights inside over 40 stalls, you will truly be spoilt for choice, as well as delicious food and drink to keep you cosy and warm. Who could say no to a Yorkshire pudding wrap?

 

With so much choice in markets around the city, there is certainly no shortage of gift ideas. Take your pick from a Christmas-themed market alongside St Nicholas Market on Corn Street, a festive waterfront market at the Harbourside or a large, popular German market at Broadmead. It’s really the most wonderful time of the year.

Winter Wonderland at Cribbs Causeway

 

Winter Wonderland returns to The Mall at Cribbs Causeway again this Christmas, bringing with it a whole host of activities for all the family. Visit Santa in his enchanted ice castle, take a spin on the vintage carousel and skate around on the largest outdoor ice rink in the South West. It’s the perfect place to get into the festive spirit.

The ice rink returns for 2018, and the Harbourside Christmas Market is right alongside. Also featuring is an apres bar to put your feet up, a big wheel for some wintery city views and outdoor film screenings, so don’t forget your mittens!
