The Manchester Christmas Markets have graced the city centre streets for another year, bringing festivity and warmth as the weather turns chillier.
Whether you fancy a taste of Germany with some Gluhwein and sausages, or if you'd rather indulge your sweet tooth in festive desserts, there are plenty of dishes to try at the markets this year. Some 220 stalls are lining the streets, with seasonal food, drinks and gifts on offer.
The main hub of activity this year is yet again Piccadilly Gardens, which has been transformed into Winter Gardens. St Ann's Square, Exchange Street, Market Street, King Street, New Cathedral Street and Exchange Square will are also home to the Christmas Markets.
