A new poll of 2,000 people has revealed the best Christmas markets in the UK, and the results are the perfect guide to the biggest and brightest markets to visit in your area. Those quizzed during the survey, which was conducted by hotel chain Premier Inn, decided that Chatsworth Estate in the Peak District is home to the best ‘all-round’ Christmas market in the UK, achieving the highest overall score of all of the markets covered by the research. Getty Images Chatsworth Estate also came top for its food and drink, although the best market for kids entertainment was found to be Leeds Castle in Kent, while those hoping to impress a date should head to Christmas by the River in London.

The average spend during a trip is £41, and most are willing to travel for nearly an hour and a half to get to their favourite market.
