00:00A merry mix of festive food, crafts and wintry fairground rides is an offer for visitors
00:06to Liverpool Christmas Market. Let's go and check it out.
00:10When Liverpool's Christmas Market opens, it is officially the countdown to Christmas and
00:15with the backdrop of St George's Hall, it is one of the most stunning festive experiences
00:20around. And although it was busy, there was next to no queuing to get food and drink.
00:27I don't know if anyone else does this, but whenever I'm at any kind of food market, I
00:30have to do a full lap and decide what I want before I can fully commit.
00:36Now this may not seem like the most Christmassy thing, but I've gone for a kielbasa, a big
00:42Polish sausage. It's got onions and cheese and I put a bit of mustard on top, but you
00:47get whatever sauce you like. Let's dig in.
00:52That's delicious.
00:54As well as all the food on offer, there are craft and gift traders offering jewellery,
00:59glass blown tree ornaments, woolen wares and much more. The market is once again spread
01:04in a U-shaped formation around the iconic St George's Hall, creating a really festive
01:09atmosphere at the gateway to the city centre. You can't miss it once walking out of Lime
01:14Street with its giant Ferris wheel, vintage carousel and brightly coloured Santa land.
01:19Now the cobbled paving can be challenging, though I did see several pushchairs being
01:23used and people using wheelchairs.
01:26Whether you are grabbing a mulled wine or a hot chocolate, there are a few bars to choose
01:30from both indoor and outdoor for that changeable winter weather.
01:34For many, coming to a Christmas market here in Liverpool or elsewhere has become a yearly
01:40tradition and whether you're meeting friends, grabbing some stocking fillers or just soaking
01:45up the atmosphere, it really does signal the start of the most wonderful time of the year.
01:51Liverpool's Christmas markets open at 11am each day, closing at 10pm right through until
01:56Christmas Eve.
