London's aren't usually up to much, surprisingly. Overpriced and unimaginative.

Birmingham - although there is the danger of falling over some very 'relaxed' ABers ...

[ummmm]

I've only been to Birmingham. It was entertaining :-)

Dave, last time I went to the Brum Xmas market, the gluhwein was £6 for a thimble-full, so not much chance of 'relaxation' there. But it is a lovely market all the same.

Re. Manchester Christmas market - we went last December, and to be honest found it a bit repetitive ie 'craft' stalls selling same goods again and again. The hot food area near the town hall was alright but sticky and mucky - unwiped tables and overflowing bins and this was around mid-day. Of you searched about thee were some good cheese / olives type of stalls but all told I'd say for the most part 'tat in a wooden hut'.
But having afternoon tea in the Town Hall is a good idea.

Birmingham Frankfurt christmas market but more for the atmosphere food and beer and the singing reindeer
