Salisbury Christmas Market Featured in
Located in Wiltshire, at the confluence of the Avon, Nadder, and Bourne rivers, 9 miles (15 km) south of the iconic Stonehenge, Salisbury is seeing tourists all year round. The city is full of historical treasures, such as the 13th-century cathedral and the original copy of the Magna Carta (the Great Charter) document from 1,215 A.D. A wonderful time to explore this cozy medieval city must be Christmas, when Salisbury hosts a holiday event and numerous themed events alike.

The Christmas event, set next to Guildhall Square, is a great place to take a break and refuel at the food stalls, have fun at the festive pop-up bar, and enjoy the grotto. Other events include the Christmas Lights Switch On, an ice rink, and a Lantern Procession.
