Here you’ll be served international specialties, as well as classics, such as mulled wine and hot chocolate. As Liverpool’s biggest Christmas market, this is the perfect place to get into the festive spirit.
  • Fairground rides and games: New to the festival this year, there’s so much entertainment to be found. A notable attraction is the Ferris wheel, from which you can take in the sights of Liverpool’s famous waterfront and skyline. From rides for children to exciting attractions for adults, there’s something for the whole family.
