Oxford & Winchester Christmas Markets Weekend
Step into Christmas and enjoy some fabulous festive fun!
Join us on this short break to the south of England for a great-value festive weekend which includes a visit to two of the UK’s most popular cities to visit, especially during the festive period.
To get us in the festive spirit, we first take you to the medieval cathedral city of Winchester where their Christmas Market will be in full swing. This traditional event is renowned for its bustling atmosphere, stunning location and handpicked high quality exhibitors and is recognised as one of the best in Europe. With pretty chalets and a towering Christmas tree, combined with festive lighting, the sound of Christmas carols and the aroma of mulled wine and cinnamon drifting in the air, you will be transported into a magical setting. The city really does epitomize the true spirit of Christmas!
Our centrally located overnight hotel in Reading offers a comfortable stay with breakfast included, and allows you to easily explore the vibrant city centre. Plus there is plenty to entertain you in the evening with a great choice of eateries and bars close to your central hotel.
After our overnight stay, we will head to the historic university city of Oxford with its honey-gold buildings and riverside setting. The architecture is fabulous, from the golden, stately university buildings to the atmospheric 13th-century pubs, wander through the cobbled streets, enjoy the excellent shopping opportunities and let the beauty of the city sweep you away. The city of dreaming spires will again be filled with festive joy as the Oxford Christmas Market returns to the heart of the city. With market traders offering unusual and handmade gifts, colourful decorations brightening wooden stalls and plenty of festive food and drink, a visit to Oxford and its Christmas Market is a magical Christmas experience.
