About this event

This year marks a special year for the UK's capital of Christmas as it was exactly 25 Christmases ago that Manchester's first-ever Christmas market took place in 1998. A quarter of a century later the markets continue to attract Mancunians and visitors alike to the city in their thousands to fill up on the fantastic festive treats on offer. With over 225 stalls across nine sites in the city centre selling food, drink, crafts and seasonal gifts, and just this week voted Europe's favourite Christmas Markets, the markets are a must-see attraction for visitors and local people alike, guaranteed
