Where are the Best Christmas Markets in Kent 2019? At Christmas I think there is nothing better than browsing a Christmas market, just as dusk settles. With a glass of mulled wine in hand, and the sweet smell of cinnamon and spice in the air, I find the twinkling lights so atmospheric! Even better with a brass band playing carols in the background! So, if you are looking for the best Christmas markets in Kent – have a look at these! If you have children also have a look at our round up of places to visit Santa in Kent.
