A new four-day Victorian-themed Christmas market on Queen Street, Cardiff, with costumed traders, roaming performers and live music.

New for 2026, the Cardiff Victorian Christmas Market turns Queen Street, Cardiff's main pedestrianised shopping street, into a traditional-style Christmas market for four days in mid-November. It is run by market operator LSD Promotions with the team behind The Great Cardiff Feast.

Expect decorated stalls from independent traders selling Christmas gifts, handmade products and festive food, with live entertainment and roaming performers. Traders are required to wear Victorian costume, and there is a prize for the best-dressed stall.

It is separate from the long-running Cardiff Christmas Market around St John's Church, which opens the same week and runs until 23 December.
