Manchester Christmas Markets make their big return to the city centre this month with the promise of bringing plenty of festive cheer. The array of food and drink and gift stalls will be spread across 10 different "zones" in the city this year.
Here, we bring you our guide to what you will find where this year at the Christmas Markets. And we have the Christmas trail map which will help you to navigate the different festive zones.
Big Santa will be making his own big return - and there will also be a festive light trail that proved popular last year. And the main festive "hub" will be the Winter Gardens village at Piccadilly Gardens.
