Mancunians will soon be able to get into the swing of the festive spirit with the return of the Manchester Christmas Markets.
It will be the second time the annual festive markets return after being cancelled in 2020 due to the pandemic. The iconic Big Santa will also be making a comeback this year alongside countless rows of festive lights to really deliver a yuletide atmosphere across the city.
This year, the main festive "hub" will be the Winter Gardens village located at Picadilly Gardens. Therefore, if you plan on driving to the markets this year, your best bet is to find suitable parking as close to the centre of town as possible.
