Locals living in the shadow of Britain's biggest Christmas markets claim the annual Bavarian tradition is being tainted by anti-social behaviour and rip off food and drinks which have priced them out of their high streets. Residents in Newcastle, Birmingham, Liverpool and Manchester have all reported seeing the cost of their annual trip to their local market soar this year in an un-festive continuation of the cost of living crisis.
Meanwhile, visitors to London's Winter Wonderland have said that the Hyde Park attraction - where a pint of beer can sell for as much as £12 - is now unaffordable. The infamously expensive city attraction is also subject to an initial £7.50 entry fee making any trip there one that dents the wallet. And in smaller rural areas like Canterbury, Winchester and Exeter, locals have said that their Christmas markets are a pain they can do without. Due to the increased footfall of shoppers in their town centres, some locals have said the markets make their areas unnavigable during the festive season. Sadly, in Exeter this increase in crowds has led to more anti-social behaviour and petty crime blighting the festive vibes. MailOnline spoke to customers at events across the UK to get a flavour of how expensive the average annual trip has become and whether Britain's love affair with Bavarian style markets had come to an end
