All you need for Christmas in the heart of Manchester Spread across eight sites in the city centre, the Christmas Markets are all located within a quarter of a mile (500m) and accessible to all. Better still, in 2013, each of the 8 individual markets will contain its own covered seating area so you can sit and enjoy the delights of our excellent food and drink in comfort. All our Christmas Market Sites will be open from Friday 15 November - Sunday 22 December 2013, 7 days a week. Mon 10am - 7.30pm Tue 10am - 7.30pm Wed 10am - 7.30pm Thur 10am - 7.30pm Fri 10am - 7.30pm Sat 10am - 7.30pm Sun 10am - 7:30pm For the full Christmas Markets experience (and to beat the Albert Square crowds), follow their trail around the city to take in what each different site has to offer: Don your Santa hat, dust off the mulled wine glass, and get into the festive spirit - it’s time to head down to Manchester’s world famous Christmas Markets. Attracting shoppers from all over the UK and beyond, the market has put Manchester city centre firmly on the Christmas map – the Christmas Market has become not just a fabulous place to shop but also a hugely popular leisure destination in its own right. No Mancunian winter is complete without a wander through the chalet-lined streets of the markets. This year the market will be celebrating its 15th year and will take over nine different spaces around the city, each with its own distinct character and atmosphere: Albert Square | Brazennose Street | King Street | St Anns Square | Exchange Street | New Cathedral Street | Exchange Square | The Corn Exchange | Corporation Street* *New for 2013 The array of over 300 stalls is mind-boggling, with mouthwatering delicacies from all over Europe. The choice is getting bigger and bigger and includes gifts, crafts, jewellery, clothes, toys and an array of food and drink. Treat yourself to anything from Dutch mini pancakes, to Hungarian goulash to Spanish paella to French profiteroles. Relax with a hot chocolate, German or Spanish beer, or French wine. Soak up the atmosphere of a truly international event with a uniquely Mancunian flavour. European and local producers offer everything from fine amber jewellery, handcrafted leather bags, and top quality bonsai trees, to Dutch cheeses, French breads, and Spanish chorizo. Perfect for alternative gift ideas. And with all glasses and mugs returnable as part of an environmentally friendly deposit scheme, your Christmas markets are greener than ever.
