Are you a big dachshund fan? Do you love seeing lots of little sausage dogs in the same place? Are you looking for your little pup to make some sausage friends?
Well, you’re in luck – the Dachshund Pup Up Cafe is back.
After what can only be described as a smash-hit success when it first visited our city back in 2018, the dachshund pop up cafe – or we should say ‘pup up cafe’ – is returning to a popular Manchester city centre bar and restaurant venue next month, and it’ll be filled with hundreds of sausage dogs.
Last year, over 250 sausage dogs visited the cafe to join in on the fun.
And this time round, 2022 will be bringing new toys, goodies to buy, and tons of new photo opportunities and props.

Hundreds of sausage dogs and their owners are set to descend on Revolution Parsonage Gardens.
The Dachshund Pup Up Cafe has managed to secure the the whole second floor of the spacious venue for all the dogs to roam free and enjoy some wholesome fun.

Sausage dog owners and dachshund fans can mingle with many furry little friends – up to 75 a session – take part in a range of competitions, and stock up on dachshund-related goodies, all while the pups themselves enjoy unlimited dog treats, unlimited free puppuccinos, and play to their heart’s content with ball pits, tunnels, toys, and many other fun props.
It already sounds like it’s going to be a pretty jam-packed day, and there’s even more fun to be announced in the coming weeks too.

If you fancy joining The Pup Up Cafe for “a sausage mad day”, then tickets will set you back £9 if you’re a sausage dog owner, and £12 if you’re just a dachshund fan who’s keen to go along for the fun anyway.
The Dachshund Pup Up Cafe will arrive in Manchester on Sunday 5 June from 10am-5pm, with multiple sessions throughout the day.
In photos – the Manchester Christmas Markets open for 2024

The Manchester Christmas Markets have sprung open for another year, and I know what you’re thinking – it’s only November!
But it’s never too early to cram in among the wooden huts and sip on a mulled wine, in our opinion, so we’ve been out in the thick of it all day today.
The huge festive celebration runs from 8 November until Sunday 22 December, which means a whole weekend of markets than we normally have.
For another year, Albert Square is sadly out of action, but the main hub of the Manchester Christmas Markets has shifted across to Piccadilly Gardens again, transforming them into the Winter Gardens.
Dotted all around the city you’ll find food, booze, music, gifts, and all sorts of other delightfully fun festive things to sink your teeth into.

Manchester Christmas Markets 2024 prices – how much is food and drink this year?

The Manchester Christmas Markets are back for 2024 and I know the question on all your lips is about prices – ‘how much is this all going to cost me’?
The huge festive celebration is one of the city’s biggest visitor attractions, luring in around nine million visitors each year.
Manchester city centre is filled to bursting with pretty wooden huts, twinkling lights, and cosy bars, serving and selling gifts, bratwurst, mulled wine and loads more.
There are plenty of familiar independent traders from around town joining in with the event, including Flat Baker, Oi Dumplings, and The Hip Hop Chip Shop, as well as more traditional European stalls.
With 240 stalls to explore across nine different locations, it’s a huge endeavour to get round it all.
But – as with everything these days – prices at the Manchester Christmas Markets have steadily crept up in recent years, so what is everything going to cost you in 2024?
We have the answers.
Average food and drink prices at the Manchester Christmas Markets 2024
Mulled wine – £5.50 (plus £3 for a shot of spirits)
Lager – £6
Prosecco – £6.50
Bratwurst – £8
Yorkshire pudding wrap – £10
Hot chocolate – £3.50
How much is a mug deposit at the Manchester Christmas Markets this year?
To have a drink at the Manchester Christmas Markets you first need to purchase a special mug.
Every year the council releases a special design for your markets bevvies – this year’s features festive cartoon characters.
These cost £3.50, which you can have refunded when you take them back to a bar – or you can keep it as a souvenir.
That means that when you get a mulled wine (£5.50) with a shot of rum or brandy (£3), plus the mug itself (£3.50), you’ll be dropping £12 on the spot. But you can get a bit of that back later.
