If you haven't visited Manchester's Christmas Markets yet and you've been planning on doing so, you might want to get your skates on as time is running out.
The markets, which launched back in November, come to a close next Thursday - making this the last weekend before they're packed up for another year. The annual festive event started on Thursday, November 10 and runs until Thursday 22 December - giving you just over a week to get yourself down there.
More than 200 traders across nine sites throughout the city centre have been involved in this years markets, offering visitors the chance to buy hand-crafted gifts, souvenirs, and produce from across the region and further afield. And lets not forget some of the brilliant street food that's been on offer - from quirky bratwurst and steaming cups of gluhwein, to luxury hot chocolates and delicious dumplings.
