Thousands are expected to head into Manchester city centre this weekend to enjoy the four-day Easter bank holiday.
This year Easter Sunday falls on April 9, meaning there are bank holidays for Good Friday on April 7, and Easter Monday on April 10.
With those two extra days off many people will spend the time hitting the shops and heading to the Arndale Centre. With more than 240 stores and a food court shoppers can spend hours strolling the corridors in search of a bargain.
