Where to Find the Christmas Magic

While Burton upon Trent itself may not have one giant central market like some larger cities, the festive spirit is spread throughout the town with various events and smaller markets popping up. Here's a guide to help you navigate the Christmas festivities:

• Burton Market Hall Christmas Events: Keep an eye on Burton Market Hall's schedule! They often host special Christmas-themed events, including craft fairs, artisan markets, and performances. These events provide a great opportunity to find unique gifts and support local businesses. Check their website closer to the time for specific dates and times.
• Local Church and School Fairs: Many local churches and schools host Christmas fairs and bazaars. These are smaller, more community-focused events, perfect for a cozy afternoon of browsing handmade crafts, enjoying festive treats, and supporting local causes. Look out for posters and announcements in the local area.
• National Brewery Centre Christmas Events: The National Brewery Centre, a significant part of Burton's heritage, often hosts Christmas events. These can range from festive meals and entertainment to special Christmas brewery tours. Check their website for details and booking information.
• Surrounding Area Markets: For a larger selection of Christmas markets, consider exploring the surrounding areas of Staffordshire. Towns and cities like Lichfield, Derby, and Tamworth often host larger Christmas markets that are easily accessible from Burton upon Trent.

Tips for Visiting the Christmas Markets

• Check Dates and Times: Be sure to check the dates and times of each market before you go, as they may vary.
• Dress Warmly: Christmas markets are usually held outdoors, so dress warmly in layers. Don't forget a hat, gloves, and scarf!
• Bring Cash: While some vendors may accept card payments, it's always a good idea to bring cash, especially for smaller stalls.
• Arrive Early: Christmas markets can get crowded, especially on weekends. Arriving early will give you more time to browse and avoid the crowds.
• Sample the Food: One of the best things about Christmas markets is the food! Be sure to try some of the festive treats on offer, such as mulled wine, mince pies, and gingerbread.
• Consider Public Transport or Parking: Parking in Burton can be busy, especially during the Christmas season. Consider using public transport or parking outside the town centre and walking in. Remember we have free parking at the Three Queens!
