Christmas Markets in Dublin, Cork & London

Nothing helps create that extra piece of Christmas magic like a visit to one of the many traditional Christmas Markets that pop up during the festive season. The popularity of Christmas Markets is increasing every year with most large towns and cities embracing the tradition and operating markets throughout the months of November and December. The 4 star Moran Hotel group with hotels in Dublin, Cork and London all offer easy access to the Christmas markets taking place in the centre of each city.

Christmas Markets in Dublin

For the first time Dublin’s St Stephen’s Green will be transformed into a Christmas market of twinkling lights, log cabins, and Christmas trees adorn the streets where you can browse a selection of stalls selling handcrafted gift items and woodcrafts. Tasty treats such as Belgian Chocolate Popcorn, traditional German Bratwurst & Gluhwein, Hungarian goulash and Spanish paella are on offer while the unmistakeable aroma of mulled wine fills the air.

In London the famous Hyde Park Winter Wonderland is a spectacular Christmas destination with something to entertain everyone. From fabulous fairground rides to the magical Ice Kingdom and Ice Rink to the sumptuous food fare in the Christmas Market it will not disappoint.

Moran Hotels offer accommodation at excellent rates with easy access to the city centres and Christmas markets of Dublin, Cork and London.

When visiting the Christmas markets we have the following tips:

• Wrap up warm – the chill in the air undoubtedly adds to the seasonal atmosphere but it won’t be much fun if you can’t feel your fingers. A warm coat and a cosy hat and scarf are definitely recommended.
• Avoid the crowds – try to visit the markets midweek. Monday – Thursday are quieter times and you will be guaranteed to get the same magic market experience.
• Check out the websites below for activities at each market and make the most of your time by planning in advance – alternatively you can just drop by and immerse yourself in the market experience.

Christmas Markets:

• Dublin, St Stephens Green – 13th of November – 22nd of December
• London Hyde Park Winter Wonderland, 21st November – 4th January
• Cork, Glow Christmas Celebration – 28th November – 21st December. (from Friday – Sunday each weekend)

Enhance your Christmas market experience and relax with a stay at one of the selection of Moran Hotels this Christmas.

We offer great value rates on overnight stays at all Moran Hotels including excellent dining & Bar services.

Wembley Concerts and Sporting Events from North West Moran base

The few weeks coming up to Christmas and afterwards into the New Year promise to be a busy and entertaining few weeks especially when it comes to the imminent music and sporting events that will be showing in London’s Wembley arena close to our Crown Moran Hotel base in Cricklewood, and no we are not talking about X-factor finals.

With the end of the year in sight many of the countries top artists are finishing their years’ tour in the last few weeks of December. And it was no surprise last Friday and Saturday night, when Wembley Arena played host to two perennial legends of British music, Paul Weller and Status Quo, both of whom needed very little introduction to music fans of all ages having produced between them some of the most iconic songs of the last 40 years.

Last weekends highlights began with the modfather of rock Paul Weller of The Jam and Style Council fame playing the last leg of his 2010 tour in style at Wembley arena last Friday night on December the 9th. And on the following evening Saturday the 10th , it was the turn of evergreen 70’s boogie rock stadium fillers Status Quo to take over the music legends theme when they played another of their many entertaining live shows in Wembley.

After last weekends extravaganza of old-school rock brilliance, showing the young generation there’s much more to music than what we see on mainstream tv, Wembley will continue to rock and carry on the classics theme. For on this upcoming Saturday the 18th December, Wembley will be transformed into an interactive and stunning setting as it stages another famous 1970’s music maker, when the live musical version of Jeff Waynes magnificent “War of the Worlds” takes over the arena in an atmospheric and brilliantly modern take on his haunting 1978 album.

And after all these large concerts leading up to the Christmas holidays, there is much to look forward to in the New Year with the emphasis on sport with the Masters Snooker competition, snookers most prestigious invitation tournament, kicking off the 2011 season at Wembley on Sunday 9th January 2011. This star filled competition will help ring in the first few shots of the new season with some thrilling matches expected from the superstars of snooker.

With concerts from the iconic and consistently brilliant rockers Paul Weller and Status Quo, the thrilling and unique spectacle of the Jeff Wayne acclaimed musical “War of the Worlds” all in December and the start of the snooker season kicking off in style with the first tournament Masters Snooker taking place in January, Wembley arena and the north west area of London is set for an exciting and event filled couple of weeks leading up to and continuing after the festive season, making it an ideal place to visit for some non traditional festive celebrations.
