Well you’re in luck because St George’s Hall is hosting 3 events alongside the return of the brilliant Liverpool Christmas Market, outside on the plateau.

Tickets are £25 and are available to buy here. Food will be available to purchase on the night.
Liverpool Christmas Market
Liverpool Christmas Market is also returning to the plateau for the second year, running from 17th November to 22nd December 2017 so those eager beavers and last minute shoppers can pick up some festive trinkets and enjoy a mulled wine throughout the winter. The market will boast over 40 traditional festive style cabins dressed in garlands and lighting to create a warm festive atmosphere. On offer will be a range of hot and cold food and craft stalls.
Choose from bratwurst or gourmet burgers, as well as an array of Christmas delights including crepes and cupcakes for those with a sweet tooth. Handmade jewellery, festive decorations, slippers, scarves and edible gifts will also make perfect stocking fillers.
