Description
One of the largest and finest medieval cathedrals in Europe, Winchester Cathedral was built in 1079 by the Normans. It’s been a place of worship for over 900 years and is home to some incredible artefacts including the Winchester Bible — the largest surviving 12th century English bible handwritten in Latin. It’s also the resting place of the famous author, Jane Austen and where Queen Mary I or Bloody Mary married Prince Philip of Spain. For incredible views of the city, make sure to climb the 213 steps to the top of the church tower.
Inspired by traditional German Christmas Markets, Winchester’s wooden chalets will house handpicked exhibitors, local crafts, festive food and warm mulled wine. There’ll also be magical Christmas lights and carol concerts. It's no wonder that the market attracts 400,000 visitors each year.
