When does the Christmas season start in 2026?
The 1st Advent is on 29 November 2026. The big Christmas markets open in November: Birmingham's Frankfurt Christmas Market opens on 5 November, Manchester's on 6 November and Hyde Park Winter Wonderland on 19 November. On Evenitto the season runs from 5 November to 6 January 2027, Epiphany.
See allAre all Christmas markets listed here?
No. For the UK Evenitto does not keep a calendar of the Christmas markets yet. Markets are here when they are announced with a date as an event. The dates and opening hours of the market in your city are with the city or the organiser.
See allWhich Christmas events are free?
Entry to many Christmas markets is free, and many churches, choirs and councils invite you to carol services and sing-alongs for free or by donation. Some events charge for entry, such as ticketed winter wonderlands and light trails. What Evenitto knows is on the Free page.
