The Liverpool Christmas Market is set to return in November for another festive shopping experience. The eagerly awaited market is a winter highlight across the city and will soon be making its comeback to St George’s Plateau for 2025.
The annual market draws in thousands of visitors each year, and with the event running until Christmas Eve, shoppers have plenty of time to visit and soak up the atmosphere. Since their move from Church Street in 2016, the markets have been held at St George’s Plateau and have seen tremendous success at this location.
Alongside the usual market, a massive festive programme will run across three historic city centre venues. All the information you need about this year’s Christmas festivities is already available, with many more exciting announcements expected in the coming weeks.
Below is everything you need to know about Liverpool Christmas Market 2025.
