Is the constant wind and rain making you feel gloomy?

A trip to a Christmas market for some festive cheer could be the answer. But be careful – go to the wrong one and your mood might end up worsening.

Here to steer you towards some of England’s most delightful and cosy Christmas markets – and away from the worst – is travel blogger and YouTuber Christina Guan (@happytowander).

So, which market …
