Christmas shopping is a festive day out at Manchester's Christmas Markets. Considered to be amongst the best in UK and Europe, the markets transform the city centre with their charming traditional wooden chalets. Get into the Christmas spirit while browsing the twinkling stalls and soaking up the unique, bustling atmosphere. The markets are bigger than ever, now at 8 city centre locations, all within an accessible square mile. New for 2011, the Triangle stalls are now wooden houses and new weekend stalls can be found on King Street.
