Pictures looking back at Lancaster Brewery Christmas Markets as this year’s event announced

But, if you just can't wait, here's a taste of what's to come. Hot food, street food, traditional food, innovative food, cold food, and I-shouldn't-but-I-can't-resist food will all be available throughout the weekend, as well as soft drinks, hot drinks, spirits, wines, and beers.

As you make your way through the market, you'll stumble upon entertainment for kids and adults, including live music.

And, for those of you who are organised enough to be buying Christmas presents in November, there will be all kinds of handmade treats and gifts to buy for your nearest made by exceedingly skilled craftspeople.

There'll be tonnes of seating around too, so you can kick back and take in the seasonal atmosphere.

Beer in hand, of course.
