The festive season is officialy upon us as Christmas markets have opened across the country.

Brighton's Christmas Market opened yesterday and welcomed hundreds of people to its festive stalls selling food and drink. 

The Argus:

The market, in York Place on St Peter's Plaza, is inspired by traditional European Christmas markets and is a favourite for many shoppers. 

But with the cost-of-living crisis continuing to grip the country, how expensive will a trip to this year's market be?

We popped down to the market to check out menus and price lists.
