Manchester Christmas Markets

The 2023 Manchester Christmas Markets are back and they’re going to be bigger and better than ever (we know we say that every year but we’re never wrong).

The markets kick off on Thursday 10 November, with nine different locations open until 21 December and the Cathedral Gardens site staying open until New Year thanks to the ice rink.

See you there for a beer and a bratwurst!
