There's just four weeks to go until Christmas, which means that many of us are getting into the festive spirit as we count down to the big day.
The city had already welcomed the arrival of the Manchester Christmas Markets, and now, a number of restaurants, bars and pubs are taking their decorations up a notch with a variety of showstopping displays and winter-themed events. Over at 1 Hardman Square, Spinningfields, 20 Stories has launched its winter terrace - and it's quite something.
Their annual winter display is often the talk of the town and has previously featured festive pods, as well as seasonal cocktails and specially curated bar snacks. This year, its famous outdoor terrace overlooking Manchester's skyline, has been transformed into an enchanted forest, taking inspiration from the Scandinavian concept 'Hygge' - a mood of cosiness and contentment.
