Cracking Christmas Markets

Christmas markets encapsulate the festive season. Not only are they a great place to pick up locally made gifts from start-ups and small businesses, they facilitate spending time with loved ones and are the perfect occasion to catch up with old faces. Of course, they also provide the chance to enjoy delicious food and drink, listen to some merry carols and generally build excitement for the big day itself.

Attending a Yuletide market, festival or fair in West Wales is a must do on your Christmas getaway checklist and there are plenty choose from. Within Pembrokeshire there are markets at Picton Castle, Colby Woodland Garden, Tenby and Saundersfoot as well as Narberth.

There are also lots of festive markets held in Ceredigion including Aberystwyth and Cardigan. Furthermore, Carmarthenshire holds the Festival of the Senses in Llandeilo as well as a market in Carmarthen.
