Christmas markets are the perfect place to embrace that festive feeling in the run up to the big day, here are the best in Buckinghamshire. 

We can think of no better way to get into that Christmas mood than wandering the stalls of a winter market with the scent of mulled wine and cinnamon circling the air.

With that in mind, we have put together a list of some of the best Christmas markets on your doorstep that you need to explore during the most wonderful time of the year.
