Glasgow’s Winterfest is a must-visit event this holiday season, offering a delightful Christmas market experience in the heart of the city. Despite a brief delay in opening caused by Storm Bert, the festive market in George Square is now up and running, joining the St Enoch Square market to provide two fantastic locations for locals and visitors to enjoy.
Our photographer, Colin Mearns, captured the essence of Winterfest with stunning images showcasing the charming market stalls filled with unique gifts, delicious food options, and twinkling lights from the fairground rides. From trying your luck at the ‘knock the elf off the shelf’ game to indulging in homemade fudge from Nia Jeffries, there is something for everyone at the Christmas markets.
Thrill-seekers can enjoy exciting rides like the chair-o-planes and the Blizzard, while classic attractions such as the ferris wheel and carousel continue to draw in crowds. For the adventurous souls out there, the Blizzard ride promises an exhilarating experience that is not for the faint of heart.
Foodies will be delighted by the variety of options available at the market, including German-style bratwurst sausages, crepes, burgers, sweets, and more. Whether you’re craving a savory treat or something sweet, the Christmas markets have got you covered.
Winterfest at George Square is scheduled to continue until Sunday, January 5, giving you plenty of time to soak in the festive atmosphere and enjoy all the offerings available.
