Christmas market in beautiful city branded 'worst ever' - but one stall saves it
The beautiful historic city of Bath has so much to offer, and for some its Christmas market is the highlight of the season, but not for other disgruntled festive fans who are slating it.
One TikToker who was not impressed with the market's offering shared a video of the West Country attraction which sparked a huge debate online, BristolLive reports.
He told his 13,000 followers: "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."
'Football fans are sick of being blamed and having their lives put in danger'
Despite not being overly keen on his visit, there was one stall that caught the bloke's 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 coming to the defence of the market. One wrote: "What? Bath Christmas market is amazing! You're only showing a tiny bit of it here - it's huge."

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."
Meanwhile, someone else agreeed with him, writing: "I felt exactly the same last year, I wouldn't go again.”
While a third person said: "I agree, Only bucks, was like going to B&Ms, a load of tat. Playing dam busters music."
The video creator replied: "I just want Christmas music at a Christmas market not Coldplay."
Since opening up for this festive season in November, the market has recieved mixed reviews, with some people saying they felt it was overcrowded and too pricey. Others love it.
One impressed reviewer even hailed it "the best I have visited outside of Germany", while another said the Christmas lighting is "spectacular". The market is open until December 10.
