Tips & Advice
- Buy tickets online well ahead, because daily numbers are limited, there's no box office and dates sell out quickly.
- Pick one of the four entry times when booking, since staggered entry keeps waits at the stalls short.
- Dress warmly in layers, because there are no patio heaters this year and the market is entirely outdoors.
- Bring a bank or credit card if you want mulled wine with a shot, as stamp cards are card-only.
- Leave big bags at home, since only A4-size bags are allowed and there's nowhere to store luggage.
Special Events & Promotions
- The heated VIP tent is a separate ticket with faster entry, seating and its own mulled wine and drinks station. Groups of 10+ get tables together automatically.
- The Indoor Christmas Dinner with a winter buffet runs Monday to Saturday from November 19 to December 19, with a separate ticket and entrance.
- Mulled wine with a shot costs a small extra via stamp cards bought at the entrance, card payment only.
