Manchester Christmas Markets until 21st December 2008

Experience one of the best Christmas Markets in Europe this festive season.

Imagine walking around a city of charming wooden chalets full of treasures as darkness falls and the Christmas lights twinkle overhead. Imagine the hum of hundreds of people laughing and catching up with old friends as they sip hot mulled wine and eat juicy bratwurst or steaming roasted chestnuts. Imagine finding a perfect and unique handmade gift for someone you love.

Imagine Manchester's Christmas Markets.

Each year, hundreds of stalls arrive from around Europe and transform some of the city's prettiest squares into one of the best Christmas Markets in Europe. This year will see five markets across the city centre, each selling different presents and each with their own unique atmosphere.
