Manchester Christmas Markets 2025 prices for beer, mulled wine, bratwurst and more

Here it comes – the Manchester Christmas Markets are back for 2025, and we’re sure you’re all wondering, ‘Okay, but what’s it gonna cost me?’.

We’ve been running around the markets this morning checking out all the prices on things this year.

From pints of beer to mugs of mulled wine to glasses of prosecco, there’s loads on offer for drinking, and it doesn’t cost the same at every corner of the Manchester Christmas Markets.

We’ve also scoped out the cost of a bratwurst this year, because it just wouldn’t be Christmas without forking out £8 for a sausage, would it?

This year, your hot drinks will be served out of the newly designed Manchester Christmas Markets mugs, which are decorated with toy town illustrations of the city.

Remember, you’ll need to pay a deposit on these, which is £3.50 this year – you get it back when you return your mug to the bar, or you can keep the mug as a keepsake for that price.

So without further ado, here are the prices at the Manchester Christmas Markets for 2025.
