Looking for a weekend break or a day trip to a Christmas Market? You've come to the right place! Christmas Markets have been a tradition across Europe for centuries and over the last fifty years also a firm favourite with coach holiday customers. Nowadays, you don’t have to travel far to experience the festive magic of a traditional Christmas Market. Over the last 30 years, the number of towns and cities holding their own versions of those continental Christmas Markets has expanded rapidly. So much so, that you might think we’d be spoilt for choice – and you’d be right. That’s why, at Leisuretime, we’ve picked the best and most popular markets for our programme. Our Christmas Market Coach holidays & trips include great value breaks to the likes of Birmingham, Exeter, Worcester, Winchester and Bath Christmas markets to name just a few. But we also feature some of the less traditional options, such as the wonderful Christmas Market and festive celebration at the stunning Blenheim Palace. So, if you’re looking to get into the festive spirit, these Christmas Markets coach trips are the perfect place to relax and enjoy great food, drink and shopping.
