Every year once November rolls around I have my eyes peeled for Christmas markets and fairs for those all-important festive vibes.
If you're already buzzing with Christmas spirit, much like myself, you'll be delighted to know that the Belfast Christmas markets open next week and it sounds amazing. The food court, with bench-style seating, also makes a welcome return, as does the vintage helter-skelter offering stunning views right across the market and the much-loved carousel.
In partnership with the NOW Group, the market now has two new brilliant initiatives for people with accessibility challenges.On the Donegall Square East side of the market, a quiet room has been created to offer a calm space when the Market becomes just a little too much. In addition, market traders have received awareness training about the JAM Card.
