Thousands travel to the winter wonderland in the city centre to sample the fine mulled wines, the belly-warming bratwursts and the steins and steins and steins of German beer.

And the good news is, it's returning for 2018!

The Christmas market will pitch up in Millennium Square from Friday, November 9 until Saturday, December 22.
