Manchester Christmas Markets are finally OPEN, officially marking the start of the festive season in the city centre. The streets are lined with Alpine huts selling an array of food, drink and gifts, and of course, we’ve been down to scout out some of the best, most unusual and Instagrammable food available in 2022. I know, it’s a hard job, but someone has to do it!
The annual extravaganza is set out across several zones at Market Street, New Cathedral Street, Exchange Square, St Ann's Square, Cathedral Gardens and King Street, with a full list of traders available to view here.
Piccadilly Gardens will be a hub of festivities with bars, traders and more, generally open from 10am until 8pm Monday to Sunday. Bars serving alcohol will be open from 11am to 9pm.
