Manchester Christmas Markets

The 2025 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 Friday 7 November and close on Monday 22 December, except for A Taste of Christmas on Albert Square and the stalls at Cathedral Gardens which will remain open throughout the Christmas period until 4 January 2026.

See you there for a beer and a bratwurst!
