Photos captured by BristolLive on Tuesday (October 28) show famous stalls like the popular Yorkshire Pudding Wraps stall already in place, as well as workers in hi-vis jackets and vests setting up the other wooden market cabins and decorations which will be home to independent traders selling everything from crafts and gifts, to food and drink. More photos show a fairground ride with a festive tree, and crowds of passers by already taking peeks at the work in progress.<\/p>\n
As in previous years, the market will be located in the heart of Bristol’s Shopping Quarter<\/a> in Broadmead<\/a> and stretches just over the road from Cabot Circus<\/a>, and down one section of Merchant Street. More than 40 stalls are expected at this year’s Bristol Christmas Market, too.<\/p>\n They will include local artisans and independent businesses selling an array of unique gifts, crafts and seasonal treats. Visitors will be able to pick up a traditional festive drink, like a mulled cider or Bailey’s hot chocolate, from the brand new Gliss\u00e8 Bar, as well as the ever popular J\u00e4ger Barn Bar, which has heated seating areas to keep you cosy.<\/p>\n If you’re a music lover, the J\u00e4ger Barn Bar will host a selection of live music from local performers from Thursdays to Sundays. Guests can also enjoy a tempting selection of charcuterie and cheese boards, rich fondue, and hot, melting brie served in crispy bread.<\/p>\n The brand-new Gliss\u00e8 Bar, located at the opposite end of the market, offers the same festive range of drinks but in a more intimate setting. There’s also a selection of food<\/a> stalls dotted around the market, serving up everything from German Bratwurst, Yorkshire pudding wraps, hog roast and even noodles, to coffee and doughnuts, churros, crepes, crumble, and more.<\/p>\n You can book a classic ski gondola and one of the brand new hot air balloon booths nestled within the J\u00e4ger Barn Bar where you can enjoy a food platter and drinks. The ski gondolas have been in service at one of Europe’s largest ski resorts before being transformed into a perfect cosy spot for a group of up to six to sit inside.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the ‘festive balloon dining’ experience sees diners sit inside a life-sized hot air balloon basket for between 6-8 people.<\/p>\n![\"Bristol](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/0_WhatsApp-Image-2025-10-28-at-161217jpeg.jpg\")
