NOTTINGHAM'S Christmas market is set to open today – and it has an ice-skating path, a Ferris wheel, and a toboggan slide. <\/p>\n

The winter<\/span> attraction will run for 55 days this year, with a variety of attractions, activities, entertainment, food, and drinks on offer.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Nottingham's Winter Wonderland opened on November 7, and it will continue to welcome visitors until December 31, 2023. <\/p>\n

Among several rides and attractions, there will also be an ice skating rink, an ice skating path, and a series of wooden stalls. <\/p>\n

While the market's ice skating rink sits at ground level next<\/span> to the wooden stalls, there's also a covered ice skating path where visitors can skate around the festive attraction.<\/p>\n

Those who want to skate should book their session in advance online. <\/p>\n

The Christmas market will be open from November 7, 2023, to December 31, 2023.<\/p>\n

A study conducted by online retailer Christmas Tree World found that the Nottingham Christmas was the longest-running winter attraction of its kind in the country. <\/p>\n

While Edinburgh's Christmas<\/span> market is open for 51 days and Birmingham's Christmas market is open for 53 days, both of these are eclipsed by Notthingham Christmas market, which is open for 55 days. <\/p>\n

Birmingham Christmas Market opened to the public last week, while Edinburgh Christmas Market will open on November 17.<\/p>\n

While the Christmas market is free to enter, visitors will need to pay for rides and any purchases they make at market stalls.<\/p>\n

The Christmas market is set on Old Market Square in the heart of the city centre, and it's just a 10-minute walk from the city's main train station.<\/p>\n

The east midlands city can also be reached on public transport too, with direct trains operating from major UK cities like London, Birmingham, Manchester, and Cardiff. <\/p>\n

Nottingham is also an hour's drive away from Birmingham, and it's a three-hour drive away from London. <\/p>\n

Hotels\u00a0in the city are extremely affordable in November and December too.<\/p>\n

Sun Online Travel have found an overnight stay\u00a0at the Dwell City Living, a studio apartment, from \u00a387 per night.<\/p>\n

The Midlands market has also received positive reviews on TripAdvisor too. <\/p>\n

One person wrote: "I thought this was amazing. It was definitely the best Christmas Market that I've ever been to, I had a great time ice skating and everything was just so Christmasy."<\/p>\n

Another added: "I loved the place, the ice skating was so much fun and the place does fill you up with Christmas joy," <\/p>\n

There are plenty of other Christmas markets<\/span> in the UK too, including the Frankfurt Christmas Market in\u00a0Birmingham, which is said to be the largest authentic German Christmas market outside of\u00a0Germany<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, this travel writer thinks their hometown has the\u00a0best Christmas attraction\u00a0in the UK.<\/p>\n
