The festive season is upon us and with that comes the welcome return of Christmas markets.
With a host of stalls to browse and delicious food and drinks to enjoy - a day at the markets is the perfect way to get in the festive spirit. I took a trip to Chester to check out the city's markets - as well as doing a spot of Christmas shopping.
Chester is around a 40 minute drive from Liverpool and can also be easily accessed on the Merseyrail network. We opted to use the city's Park and Ride bus service on our visit, which takes you right into the city centre - just a short walk away from the festive markets.
