Went to their Christmas Market for the first time, it was very well organised - buggies take you from the car parks to the market site, and return you to the car parks.
The market itself was lovely with some interesting stalls selling unusual items - although everything seemed very overpriced to me! The only thing that spoilt it for me, was that at some stalls, as soon as you started to browse, the stallholder came over trying to flog their wares! I know it's their living but, as soon as someone does that to me, I simply walk away! If I want something I will ask, so they've lost a possible sale straight away!
Apparently they've put their parking charges up this year (there's free admission to the market) it's £10 per vehicle before 3pm weekdays and £5 after. At weekends it's £20 before 3pm and £10 after. The official line is that they've done it to make people think about car sharing, or other methods to get their (eg public transport), but an inside source told me that it's done to reduce visitor numbers as last year they had too many visitors!
We felt like royalty driving through the golden gates and manged to see a couple of herds of both red and fallow dear.
