Leeds Christmas Market
19 November – 23 December 2026
City Square, Millennium Square and Victoria Gardens, Leeds, West Yorkshire
This year the market puts the spotlight on local traders, spread across three spots in the city centre. City Square is filled with Christmas trees for Thor's Winter Village, where wooden chalets trimmed for the season hold Yorkshire makers with prints, woodwork, homeware and small gifts for stockings. There are bao buns, churros, bratwurst from the grill, mead and speciality coffee, plus a canvas tipi with log fires and a Highland-style lodge with live music and winter games. Further on, Victoria Gardens and Millennium Square have Bavarian-style cabins selling currywurst and sweets, alongside the Big Wheel, a carousel and a covered ice rink for skating.
