If sweating in overcrowded shopping centres, lugging bags, tripping over small children and fighting over the last gift boxed panettone sounds like one Christmas nightmare too many consider taking a shopping trip with a difference. Christmas markets are becoming more and more popular all over the UK, inspired by those in Germany and Eastern Europe.

Cities throughout Britain are inviting traders from all over the continent to sell their wares, from tasty treats to beautiful arts and crafts and unusual toys. The markets are an opportunity to pick up gifts with a difference and get in to the Christmas spirit with an evening time trip, wrapped up in winter woollies and trying before you buy.

If you're around and about in Oxford and desperate to find 'that' perfect gift, stroll on down to the Christmas market on 6 December. Here you'll find a plethora of delightful gifts for friends and family, even those 'hard to buy' for members of the family who appear to have everything already.
