Prepare to feel festive, as Leeds Christmas Markets will be taking over the city once again this November.
Last year, Leeds’ festivities saw the busiest day for footfall in the city centre for five years. This November, the much-anticipated Leeds Christmas Markets will once again be bringing a winning combination of tasty fare, gifts galore and pop-up bars. It’s so good, Santa himself wouldn’t miss it.

The markets are back again this year, as the festive spirit takes over the city from Friday 21st November to Sunday 21st December 2025. It’s bigger and better than ever, but what can you expect?
Just like last year, the stalls, bars and attractions will be spread across Millennium Square and City Square – meaning you’ll get all the fun, without the leg work.
The Millennium Square market will be combined with the much-loved Ice Cube skating rink, which will run from Friday 21st November through to New Year’s Eve, to create one big festive playground that spills out onto Victoria Gardens.

Fairground rides, including the 110-foot ferris wheel and the iconic Golden Gallopers carousel, will be combined with live entertainment to get you in the festive spirit.
Meanwhile, Thor’s Tipi will be back on Victoria Gardens, taking up their usual spot from Monday 15th November to Wednesday 31st December 2025 to dish out mulled wine, boozy hot chocolate and more.
With more than 60 decorated chalets set to land across the city centre, you can expect the best in food, drink and shopping. Whether you’re after hot Bavarian-style Bratwurst, delicious crumble pots with lashings of custard, or a cup (or three) of mulled wine, you’ll find it all and more – along with unique decorations, stocking fillers and gift ideas.
