Going to the one in Belfast tomorrow. Never been before, but it's supposed to be awesome.

Bath is a good one - as is Winchester
I would just give up, pull up a chair and get yourself a fine beer.
With one of those massive sausages they have on that swingy thing and garlic bread! Nom nom.

I've had a Bratwutz already last week
Just not had the beer.

I can only really speak of the Manchester one but it's pretty good and grows each year. Covers about 4 separate areas this year.
My girlfriend just came back from her Hen Do in Leeds and said they had quite a good one.
Depending on your money situation if you've got a few days how about a break away into Europe? My mum and sister have started traveling to various markets. They're off to Zurich this year and have been to a few German cities as well as Bruges in the last few years.

There's actually a lot more choice than just German 'offerings'.
I'm going to sample the delights a week on Saturday. Hopefully there's a bit of snow between now and then to add to the atmosphere!
Wheeey a Bury lad

It's quite fun and varied. It has stands selling festive stuff (or tat), LOADS and loads of food stalls, from doughnuts, burgers, paella, fish & chips, sausages to noodles and stuff.
It takes over the whole city centre! (it stretches about a mile long from end to end.)
Picked up a leaflet about Manc's market, they are having several different markets around town, showed a route you can take and each different types. Threw the leaflet away but heres the downlod.
Sadly no longer. I used to live in Ramsbottom, however I moved to Chorley about 18 months ago and never updated it!
It's a great market, but if you go then get in and out before 12pm, maybe even 11am. It gets absolutely ridiculously, can't move at all kind of busy, and parking can be a nightmare also.
Birmingham is good, and even bigger this year extending right down New Street. I'll no doubt be going one evening for a beer, a sausage, garlic bread and some candied nuts soon
I was in town briefly on Saturday evening, and it was absolutely crazy how many people were there, you literally had to shuffle down the road at a snail pace!
