"They’re almost here! I like a nice Xmas market but many are just a group of sheds selling the same shite I do like to go on an overnight stay with the Mrs and even better with other people Look around the shops in the day have a drink or two Back to hotel get dressed all nice n cosy warm, then hit the market at night for the lively atmosphere, lights, smells and big hotdogs Intermingled with beers How do you feel? " They're just kind of samey and predictable, I'd rather just spend my money in the local pub for some drinks and food and have "Now that's what I call Christmas" playing in the background | |||

"You are all so bahh humbug on here! 😂 You miserable fuckers 🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅" Guilty, but when it's such an obvious low-effort cynical cash grab as the Birmingham one, it's hard not to humbug at it. I mean come on, how much effort is it to put butter in your fucking hot dog rolls? I'm not fucking paying a fiver for a sausage in a bit of dry bread. | |||

"The UK ones are pale imitations of genuine Christmas markets I go to Berlin every year and experience the genuine article, with prices a fraction of the UK ones. " I read the beer at the markets abroad is around £2.50. Here in the Cardiff Xmas market it's around £7-8. There's always the check you have to do for car stopping bollards either end. | |||

"I went to the Brum one a couple of times but it's very samey every year, only the extortionate prices change. There's only so much lager, glühwein, sausages in rolls without even any butter and gingerbread houses my salary can stand, and it's always crowded as fuck with people convincing themselves they're having a good time, so it's a Bah! Humbug! from me. Now if there were any ye olde Dickensian hot chestnut and spiced ale/mulled wine sellers, I could be tempted, but the "German" (they're all actually East European vendors) stuff just gets on my tits these days." And it’s a pain in the ass trying to get anywhere in the city whilst it occupies the main pedestrian street, detours to get to Symphony Hall for example. | |||

"Nice to wander through and soak up the festive atmosphere, just don't buy anything. Total rip off!!" I agree, although I'm sure the council charges them a pretty penny for a pitch. | |||

"I've not been to any overseas, but would love to visit one in Germany or Austria sometime. I agree with the above, the ones here tend to be samey and so expensive. " We went to Vienna last year & it was wonderful. The city is stunning, & the markets are genuinely lovely. Each market is themed around a style or type of shopping, so the market at the Rathausplatz is all Xmas decorations etc. It's really worth going. | |||
