One of the UK’s biggest Christmas markets has been branded “worst ever” in a scathing review by a social media influencer. TikToker Chasing the Dream sparked a huge debate when he shared a video of the West Country attraction.

The TikToker who has 13,000 followers claimed that “it doesn’t look like a Christmas market.” He wrote: “Christmas markets are great until you turn up at the Bath Christmas Market. For starters, it doesn’t feel like a Christmas market. 

“It just feels like a normal market with, I don’t know, maybe a few Christmas decorations. There’s no Christmas music on. You’ve got street performers playing Fields of Gold and around the corner you have someone playing Coldplay.

“Yeah, it’s really not the best Christmas market we’ve ever been to, it’s probably actually the worst Christmas market that we’ve been to…all in all it’s a very depressing Christmas market.”

Despite not being overly keen on his visit, there was one stall that caught his eye. He said: “The doughnut stand is actually quite nice-looking with all the Christmas decorations and then you do have a little Christmas stall in the corner.”

His video sparked a huge backlash, with lots of people saying they loved Bath’s festive market, reported Bristol Live. Others had noted the social media user had only showed a snippet of the full attraction.

One user wrote: “What? Bath Christmas market is amazing! You’re only showing a tiny bit of it here – it’s huge.” He replied: “I’m not saying it’s small I am saying it doesn’t feel like a Christmas market, no Christmas music or atmosphere or merry Christmas feeling.”

Another person penned: “As someone who lives in Bath, you’re in a tiny part of it there and early in the day, in the evening there’s music and it’s very festive.”
