Now that the clocks have gone back, the festive season seems close enough to touch. The days are shorter, the air is colder and, most importantly, the first Christmas markets begin in just a few weeks. With creative gifts, tasty treats and their unbeatable, celebratory atmospheres, Christmas markets are the perfect place to eat, drink and ignite the festive spirit. Here in the Peak District, we are lucky enough to be spoilt for choice when it comes to Christmas events, with most towns and attractions pulling out all the stops, drawing merry crowds from near and far. We’ve picked out a few Christmas markets that we’re particularly excited out, all a stone’s throw from The Peacock at Rowsley:
