There are few things that symbolise the arrival of the festive period in our lives than the return of Christmas markets to our region!

Sampling the delights of the continent so often proves a hit with shoppers with everything from hot chocolate, mulled wine, roasted chestnuts and paella on offer for those lucky enough to happen upon it!

It is no surprise that the Christmas markets are so popular with youngsters and older people alike, with the Christmas spirit plain to see in today’s gallery.

This year, events such as this, which are a staple in our lives these days will be sorely missed and we will all cherish their return when it is eventually safe again!
