We fancied a day out at the historic docks in Gloucester to visit the Victorian Christmas Market. Finding somewhere to park was a nightmare. The car park that I’d scouted out on-line was closed for re-surfacing and the nearest available lot was the nearest to the event so it was full of supply vehicles. We eventually found some street parking and forked out four quid for two hours. Apparently there was an underground car park nearby but we only discovered this on our way back to the car. We entered the market underneath an archway that was blowing out snow. All the vendors were in Victorian attire and were in very festive spirits (unlike other city Christmas markets). We wandered around the stalls to inspect the wares on offer then went for a stroll around the docks and picked up some pork baps for lunch. After that I took the little one on the carousel then we tried to get into the ice-skating but you had to book a session in advance but we didn’t have enough time on the meter to wait for the next available session. So to make up for it we stopped off at a playground near an abbey in Evesham on the way back.
