It just isn’t Christmas in Bristol until the strange gaggle make their festive return<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

There’s just over 3 days until the Bristol Christmas Market opens for 2025. It’s good news because the Strange Santas are back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The gaggle of wooden Father Christmas statues have been a staple decoration at the market for some years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here they are with a fresh lick of paint ready to open for the festive season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
