SALISBURY CHRISTMAS
MARKET
Salisbury Christmas Market is inspired by the best of
traditional European Christmas Markets, but will also
have something very British about it too. The
exhibitors and caterers will be among the best in
this country and all will have been especially
selected for the very high quality of their products,
and the stylish way in which they present their
chalets. An important feature of the Salisbury
Christmas Market is that the majority of the goods
being sold will have been produced in Britain. From
designer crafts to Christmas decorations and all
kinds of unusual and tasteful gifts, the emphasis will
be very much on unique and desirable gifts, food
and drink, most of which will be supporting our own
home economy. Needless to say no Christmas
Market would be complete without the seasonal
Gluhwein (mulled wine), Bratwurst (German
sausage), Stollen and Lebkuchen (gingerbread) as
well as our many delicious English specialities, and
this Christmas Market will certainly be no exception!
