WHILE travelling back in time isn't possible, there is one festive attraction that does a pretty good job of transporting visitors back to the past. <\/p>\n
The Stratford-upon-Avon Victorian Christmas Market is home to over 300 stalls where traders dress up in authentic Victorian clothing. <\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
At the market, visitors can expect to find stalls selling festive street food, mulled wine, cider, and hot chocolate. <\/p>\n
Other attractions include a traditional Victorian carousel ride, live music, choirs, dance groups, and stilt walkers. <\/p>\n
Visitors will also get the chance to meet Father Christmas and his reindeer.<\/p>\n
While the Christmas market is free to enter, Brits will need to pay for any purchases they make during the day. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But visitors will have to plan their break carefully, because the market is only open for four days from December 7, 2023, to December 10, 2023.<\/p>\n
The Victorian market spans several streets in Stratford Upon Avon including Waterside, Bridge Street, Henley Street, High Street, and Meer Street. <\/p>\n
Stratford Upon Avon is a two-hour drive from London, and a 50-minute drive from Birmingham. <\/p>\n
It also has a train station, with direct links to Birmingham Moor Street Station. <\/p>\n
