02.12.10 Jet2.com LEEDS OFFERS YOU AN ALTERNATIVE TO CHRISTMAS
Surprises are one of the key factors which make Christmas special and Leeds can add that little grain of sand which will ensure a very special Christmas.
From its ‘Christkindelmarkt’ in best German style with its 30 stalls where you can find authentic German artisan pieces, without forgetting the GlühWine (hot spiced wine) the typical frankfurts and a special representation of Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Suite from the Northern Ballet Theatre to the traditional Christmas concerts which take place daily in different parts of the town.
And, on the coast, to be exact in Scarborough a little more than one and a half hours from the town of Leeds, on the 25th December one of the most curious events in all England takes place: a football match on the beach, an idea which was born more than a century ago to collect funds to help widows of fisherman drowned at sea and is still carried out today.
Jet2.com connects Spain and Leeds with direct flights from 5 Spanish destinations in winter months: Barcelona, Alicante, Murcia, Lanzarote and Tenerife.
