GWR Christmas Market Hop

Escape the city and explore the Christmas Markets of the South West with Great Western Railway this festive season.

If the crowded streets and shops of central London are getting you down, a relaxing train journey to somewhere new might be the perfect getaway for you this Christmas.

Forget train tickets, to celebrate Black Friday, GWR created a limited-edition Christmas Jumper which gave five festive superfans two-weeks of unlimited free rail travel so they could explore all the best Christmas markets including Truro, Cardiff, Plymouth and Bath.

Inspired, we decided to take a day-tip to Bristol to see their festive offerings, drink mulled cider and see the famous Christmas steps.
