CHRISTMAS<br />

mARkETS<br />

It’s time to wrap up warm and head off to a Christmas<br />

Market to experience a festive array of sights, smells and<br />

sounds. Nothing gets us in a seasonal mood more than a<br />

visit to the Christmas Markets, partaking in a glass or two of<br />

Glühwein or mulled wine, whilst attempting to decimate<br />

your present list with a bit of Christmas shopping.<br />

Here’s our recommendations for your annual Christmas<br />

Market trip – all tried and tested destinations plus a<br />

surprise debut to the world of Christmas Markets from<br />

the entertainment centre of the North West - Blackpool!<br />

manCHESTER<br />

The original and biggest Christmas market in the<br />

country, Manchester Christmas Markets is the place<br />

to go. Arriving in the city in 1999, the market has<br />

grown every year since, now attracting more than<br />

nine million visitors each year to the heart of the<br />

buzzing city centre.<br />

Its 300 beautifully festooned stalls and chalets<br />

offer a dazzling array of hand-crafted Yuletide gifts<br />

along with a mouth-watering range of international<br />

food and drinks. Follow the market trail as it winds<br />

through the city centre, with stall holders tempting<br />

you with gifts, crafts, jewellery, toys and much more.<br />

And don’t forget the food! Manchester’s Christmas<br />

Markets are known for traditional bratwurst, but<br />

visitors can also try Hungarian goulash, Spanish<br />

paella or a good old-fashioned hog roast.<br />

The Manchester Christmas Markets run from Friday<br />
