Manchester Christmas Markets are now open, and the festive season has officially begun. Thousands of people descend on Manchester each year to soak up the atmosphere and enjoy the markets that claim large swathes of the city. New this year is a giant Nordic-themed double tipi bar with a fire pit – definitely one to check out.
Stalls sell all kinds of crafts, including Christmas decorations, gifts, clothing, candles and jewellery, but the number one pull is food and drink.
The food each year is truly glorious. Seasonal favourites pull the people, including gluhwein, bratwurst, Greek gyros, roast dinner wraps, paella, pizza, and masses of sweets. And the drinks, too, are delicious, with an array of hot drinks, warming winter cocktails, mulled wine, hot chocolates with and without liquor and more.
If you’re looking to pay a visit to the markets but want to know prices in advance, you’re lucky because various websites have listed the food and drink prices you can expect at this year’s markets.
