Christmas Fair

The Christmas Fair at George Square transforms Glasgow's historic civic heart into a festive wonderland that captures the spirit of Scotland's largest city. Set against the backdrop of the iconic City Chambers and surrounded by Victorian statues, this beloved market features over 100 stalls offering traditional crafts, unique gifts, and seasonal treats. The square comes alive with twinkling Christmas lights, a beautifully decorated tree, and the much-loved traditional carousel that delights visitors of all ages. Browse handmade jewelry, ceramics, and Scottish crafts while sampling everything from traditional Scottish pies and haggis balls to German sausages and mulled wine. The festive pavilion bar area hosts daily entertainment and live music, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere perfect for gathering with friends and family. Fairground rides add excitement to the experience, while the free admission makes it accessible to everyone. The market's central location in Merchant City puts you steps away from Glasgow's Style Mile shopping district and major attractions, with excellent public transport connections via bus, subway, and train. Visit during weekday afternoons to avoid peak crowds and enjoy a more relaxed browsing experience.
