A Guide to Christmas Fairs & Markets in the North East - 2016

Oh Yes! It's that time of year again. I just love a Christmas market. There's something special about getting wrapped up, listening to carols, drinking mulled wine and buying treats and gifts for the festive season ahead. I have included as many markets and fairs in the North East as possible, but please leave a comment with any others and I will try and update when I can (no guarantees though unfortunately).
