Christmas may seem like a long time away but it’ll sneak up on you, and with the first market opening in just under a month, we thought it was about time to put this guide together.
The most organised Glaswegians will be planning their gifts, trips, and festive events now, but we can’t all be so perfect, let GlasgowWorld help you with the festive season, as stressful as it can be.
Whether you’re in the market for artisan crafts, pigs in blankets, mulled wine, or even last minute gifts - these are the best Christmas markets operating in Glasgow this festive season.
