Works as a day trip

On Sundays with the 21:55 home to London Heathrow: you're in Hanover 12:10 to 20:00 and the market is open all of it. About 4 hours of that is after dark.

Getting to Hanover and back in a day

1 UK airport
London Heathrow
Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sun
Out from 07:50, home as late as 21:55 on Sun (local time)
Whole day from £199.10, checked 20 Oct

Airport to the centre: S-Bahn S5, 15 min, €4.50.

Getting around: 2-zone day ticket €9.40.

How the day-or-night answer works: the latest flight home, minus 15 minutes back to the airport, minus 90 minutes at the airport. The 90 minutes is our assumption. Flight times are the saved winter timetable, not a booking.
