The Manchester Christmas Markets are known as one of the biggest festive events in the UK, and we are running trips on six dates between late November and mid December.
What to Expect
The city centre turns into a festive village, with hundreds of wooden chalets spread across several squares. You will find food from around the world, warming drinks and beautifully made gifts, and there is nothing like a steaming mug of Glühwein to get you in the mood.
Away from the markets, Manchester also has superb high-street and designer shopping, so it is a handy day out if you are trying to get your Christmas presents sorted.
