An Insider’s Guide to Manchester: Christmas Markets
It’s that time again - the Christmas Markets are up and running in Manchester City Centre. I’m actually quite a big fan of the Manchester Christmas Markets, although year on year it’s getting busier. As a result it gets really uncomfortable to navigate especially on a Friday evening and the weekends. So I thought it would be useful to have a street by street guide to the Christmas Markets: Albert Square is the main draw for Christmas Markets, especially on a Friday evening when it becomes a huge draw for the workers having their celebratory ‘thank god it’s Friday’ drink. It does tend to have a later closing time than the other markets, so you can understand the appeal. The crepes stand appears to have a permanent queue. Weirdly I find the mulled wine not as good from here compared to the other markets across Manchester city centre.
