Every year we have a fantastic German Market in our City Centre. Loads of wooden cabins selling lovely gifts and crafts and delicious food. I love the Bratwurst sausages and the crepes, but the very best are the schokokuss, gorgeous chocolate marshmallows in lots of different flavours.

I took the girls to the market for a browse. We all had a ride on the wonderful carousel and enjoyed some yummy doughnuts filled with chocolate. We also had a look at the skating rink, we couldn’t skate as it would have been unfair on Star. So we went up to the first balcony on the new library and watched the skaters and the big wheel in action. (One day I will get them to go all the way up to the rooftop, it’s amazing up there!)
The husband and I were only discussing going to this last night! I think you've persuaded me – thanks 🙂 #CountryKids
I wouldn't go on a Saturday, last week it was heaving, you couldn't get near the stalls. But it was lovely on a weekday afternoon, just as it was getting dark. 🙂
I've taken eldest here but only in the morning when it's quieter. She's off with her auntie at night time for a treat soon and I'm quit envious! I think next year I'll brave it with littlest-it gets do busy doesn't it. But I agree, it's great.
we decided against taking the buggy but The Little Man was too poorly to go anyway. So Daddy's back was saved as he was going to carry him around on his shoulders. It's not so bad in the mornings though.
We like going to the outdoor Christmas market in Bath. Gets really crowded, but it instantly makes you feel Christmassy. #CountryKids
I'd love to visit a Christmas market in another area for a change…I'm thinking maybe Germany might be nice 😉
How perfect for getting you into the christmas mood, the chocolate filled donuts sound delicious. Thanks for linking up and sharing with Country Kids.
I wish I had taken a picture of the doughnuts, they were so pretty, but I'm afraid we were too greedy and gobbled them up quick 😉
Anne this is making me count the days till our German market its on .. love it x
We used to love going to the market in Edinburgh, really got you into the mood for Christmas 🙂 #CountryKids
Ohh I love Christmas markets….Always so much fun and get me right in the Christmassy mood 🙂 x
Looks fab! Hubby and I went to a Christmas Market in Lille before the smalls came along but I've never been to a German one. Maybe one day! #CountryKids
Sounds like your girls had a lovely time and the christmas market looks amazing as do those chocolate kisses 🙂
Just popping over from country kids

I adore Christmas markets and those schokokuss are gorgeous – I love seeing rows of them.
We went there last year after Monkey's birthday trip to SeaLife Centre – it's fab isn't it. I weent to Cologne to stay with friends a few years back, was magical.
We have a German market too in Glasgow and it's great to stop for lunch! A bit busy for my wee man.
