Sheffield Christmas market.

Maybe it was just the lovely sunshine, but this years Christmas Market seems to be a big improvement on previous years.

Still only small, but I thought there was a better range of stalls and products this year, and the giant 'yurt' in the peace gardens with indoor fire pits was great.

Still room for improvement of course, it needs to grow a lot bigger and perhaps include some street artists/entertainers, but at least it seems to be moving in the right direction.

Now, let's see if they can do something to improve the painfully dismal 'Sheffield Show' next summer....

I've just returned from a business trip to Stuttgart, where my colleagues took me to two Christmas markets.

One of the colleagues is coming to the UK next week and wants to see the Sheffield CM. Neither of us can believe that it closes at 6pm!

What am I going to do with her?

I'm stuck for evening activities.
