I've heard mixed reports. Square absolutely packed, the bloke on the tannoy seemed angry but a cracking light show.

We are too, not been before, but the Christmas Markets are one of the best apparently and of coarse its really cheap there. Going to keep my eye out for a Dukla away shirt and Sparta are home so going to try and get ticketsI'm off to Prague with the family in early December, surely Christmas markets on the agenda! I just have to lose 7Ibs in November first ... really bad timing, all hard work down the drain I guess

Don't make the mistake I made. Searched in vain for Wenceslas Square. Failed. Spotted Tourist Information office..I'm off to Prague with the family in early December, surely Christmas markets on the agenda! I just have to lose 7Ibs in November first ... really bad timing, all hard work down the drain I guess

- "You're standing in it sir"
In my pitiful defence, it wasn't square
If you want crowded spaces, full of tossers and groin goblins barging round all looking at cheap shitty christmas bollox then look no further than Asda at Hollingbury this Christmas, if you want some authentic cold air head to the freezer aisle where many overweight ignorant tossers leave the freezer doors open

This is the correct opinion.

I shop at ASDA Hollingbury!If you want crowded spaces, full of tossers and groin goblins barging round all looking at cheap shitty christmas bollox then look no further than Asda at Hollingbury this Christmas, if you want some authentic cold air head to the freezer aisle where many overweight ignorant tossers leave the freezer doors open
Yeah, fair comment.

Listen to me!!!
Same old miserable posters 
Enjoyed Krakow a lot and Dusseldorf was ok, but for the UK the only thing worse than a Christmas market is a Christmas/Santa/North Pole experience.

It depends, if it's some corporate market with crap food and tat that you get in the city then no, but if it's one of those out in the sticks sussex ones where the food is great as is the booze and home made gifts then yes.
Go to Bruges every year for a long weekend with two of my mates. Off next week in fact 2 nights Bruges 1 night Ypres. Atmospheric, buy Antiques and drink beer. Taking the van this year.

Vienna a few years ago was great. Never been to a UK one as they always look a bit naff.
I went to Dusseldorf this time last year, they were playing Schalke and fans mingled in the city centre Christmas markets with annoying lack of plastic chair luzzing. Only slightly overpriced but good fun. Not been to one in the UK yet.
This is the Gendarmenmarkt one which has temporarily moved . I just checked and they will have the champagne and oyster bar right next door to the pie and mash stall like last year. Perfect.

Is that where the elves were smoking and the reindeers’ heads and bodies were some distance apart? Wasn’t it a “Mears” production of some sort with Santa’s Grotto a sea of mud?

The Bruges one is ok as your other half and children can go skating or visit the tat stalls whilst you go and do some serious Belgium beer sampling from the surrounding bars.
