Advantages: alcohol, food: everything you need!

Disadvantages: None

Last year was the first year i had ever attended this event, as it was my first year studying at Leeds University. We were about to head off on a night out and needed somewhere to have a few beers before hand.

Usually, this would take you to a pub such as walkabout or the local, "the hyde park". However, not on this night. We decided to head down to the leeds german christmas market, and we were not to be disappointed.

Below, i will review the different areas that we enjoyed during the evening.

The alcohol
--------------
Obviously, at anything where the words German and Market are concerned you expect some good beer to be on show, and we were not disappointed. I sampled some of the "home brewed lager" and it tasted great. Also at 7 percent you were provided with a real kick which you do not usually get from this type of drink.

My friends tried some of the bitter and cider that was also on offer; they like me thoroughly enjoyed it, and we all spent a good amount of money getting nicely oiled before our night out.


The Food
-----------
At any xmas market, you expect to get some kind of food stalls; and at this one, there were plenty. I personally opted for some german schnitzel, and it tasted great. Having been to germany i knew roughly what to expect; and it took my back to walking down the Koln high street!

There was a great variety on offer though, from different cheeses to warm meals. It really did have everything.


The entertainment
----------------------
In my view, this is what made the night. There was a great German singer on, and it was very traditional. He was excellent though and really knew how to keep the crowd and even had us singing along by the end of the night!

There were also multiple games stalls outside, and although these looked like great fun, i never did sample them, so i cannot fully review these fairly.

So, if your looking for a fun night out in the yorkshire area at xmas, definately give this a go.

Summary: great way to spend your night
