The German Christmas Market in Leeds

This week I visited the German Christmas Market in Leeds with my lovely friend Tilly. I had a great time and it really made everything start to seem really Christmassy! There are always gorgeously scrummy things to eat and pretty things to buy... Here are a few of my festive photos to document the event!

THAT'S a lot of Nutella! I couldn't resist a banana and nutella crepe!

Tilly with her cherry and chocolate crepe



I bought myself a toasty warm winter hat from this stall last year


Christmas Pudding Hat

Cupcake Hat

Nutcrackers... they kind of freak me out a little bit... it's those weird exposed teeth and beards...


It wouldnt possibly be a German Christmas Market without a few German sausages!

Mulled wine and Christmassy Coca Cola!


I didn't get myself one this time around, I already had garlic bread and yummy crepe in my tummy, but last year I bought a couple of these great huge chocolate covered marshmallows!

When me and Tilly couldnt take the freezing cold temperatures of the Christmas Market we ventured along to All Bar One for a warm drink and some dinner... Tilly's latte came with a shot of smarties! How cute!

You can't beat a good homemade burger!

I'm SO jealous - this one looks great. The one on the South Bank is a little blah.
The garlic bread there was it called Knobi bread? my favourite German food ever

I love the Christmas Market in Leeds. I went a few years ago and got a brie and cranberry pretzel, it was divine.

Abbie, I love the market pics! Looks like a bash! The winter hat vendor, happen to have any contact info? I'd love to get one of her/his rainbow ones!

Thanks,
