Manchester - The Capital of Christmas

Christmas is a magical time in Greater Manchester and the perfect occasion to combine a short festive break with a spot of Christmas shopping. With hundreds of high street and independent boutique shops to choose from, Greater Manchester attracts visitors from far and wide, particularly during this period – and rightly so! One of the highlights of Christmas are most certainly the abundance of markets spread across the region, most prominently the City Centre where the streets are lined with festive stalls selling a wide range of food, gifts and drinks. The twinkling of the Christmas lights, smells of warm comforting delicious foods whilst browsing the markets all wrapped up, clutching a warm glass of fragrant mulled wine – it’s an offer which is very much hard to resist.
