Stock up on festive treats and essential seasonal ingredients at the Real Food Christmas Market, when the team behind the Real Food Festival take over Southbank Centre Square for a weekend of gastronomic delights.

Feeling festive?
If you can't even think about feeling festive until you've stocked your kitchen cupboards with mince pies, Christmas pud, glazed ham and all manner of traditional treats, then head to the Real Food Christmas Market and browse the stalls laden with the best seasonal, expertly produced food and drink around. Regardless of whether you're on the lookout for the best quality goose fat to roast your spuds come Christmas day, or whether you're searching for the perfect gift for the foodie in your life, this is the market for you.

Seasonal food
Presented by the same team behind the annual Real Food Festival, the Real Food Christmas Market is the seasonal version of the market that's proved incredible popular with food lovers over the past year. In the past, Southbank Centre Square has hosted a harvest festival, a vintage food market inspired by the diets of yesteryear and the very best in summer produce, and now the stallholders are turning their attentions to the festive period with all the gusto and enthusiasm you'd expect.

Christmas on the South Bank
In addition to the Real Food Christmas Market, the South Bank is also hosting the ever popular traditional German Christmas market in November and December 2011. Foodies with a sweet tooth can also stock up on chocolate and cocoa products when the Christmas Chocolate Festival makes a welcome return to Southbank Centre Square.
