Sunday Festive Markets.

Salisbury’s Sunday Festive Markets are the ultimate spot for all things cosy and crafty. Running every Sunday in December (7th, 14th, and 21st) at the Market Place, these markets are a treasure trove of handcrafted gifts, festive treats, and unique finds. Whether you’re hunting for a one-of-a-kind present for someone special or just want to wander through a winter wonderland, this is the place to be.

From artisan chocolates to handmade decorations, the Sunday Festive Markets are perfect for families, couples, or anyone who loves that warm, festive feeling. And don’t forget to stop by the food stalls—hot cider and mince pies are practically mandatory!

Christmas on the Square.

For a bigger dose of holiday magic, Christmas on the Square at Guildhall Square is an absolute must-visit. Open daily from 21 November to 31 December, this market has everything you could dream of:

Festive retail huts brimming with gifts and goodies
Street food stalls to fuel your shopping spree
A Snow Globe Bar with seasonal drinks and live music

It’s the kind of place that makes you pause, take a deep breath of crisp winter air, and just smile at all the twinkling lights. Perfect for an afternoon with friends or a romantic stroll at dusk.
