Over 60 Log Cabins for a True Christmas Shopping Experience

The Sheffield Christmas Markets have come a long way since its humble beginnings. What started as a handful of market cabins has now blossomed into a full-on winter shopping wonderland with over 60 log cabins stretching all the way from Town Hall Square to the bottom of the Moor. With more than 80% of the traders based locally, the markets showcase the best of Sheffield’s independent businesses—giving you the perfect chance to pick up unique gifts and support local artisans while you’re at it.

Mulled Wine, Yorkshire Pudding Wraps, and Alpine Bars—Oh My!

When it comes to food, the Sheffield Christmas Markets don’t hold back. This year, the markets have expanded their festive offering to include three exciting Alpine Bars, perfect for warming up with a glass of mulled wine or a cheeky festive cocktail. If you’re in the mood for something heartier, you’ll find a traditional German sausage grill, the infamous Yorkshire Pudding Wraps (yes, they’re a thing and yes, they are delicious), and a selection of sweet treats like churros. Whether you’re after a savoury snack or something sweet to satisfy your Christmas cravings, there’s something for every palate.

The Sheffield Christmas Markets are open for business from Thursday November 14th, with opening hours from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM Sunday to Thursday, and extended hours until 7:00 PM on Fridays and Saturdays throughout December. So, whether you’re an early bird or a night owl, there’s plenty of time to browse the stalls, sample the food, and experience the festive atmosphere.
