You may be in with a chance to receive free hot chocolate and Christmas goodies!

Manchester Business Improvement District, in partnership with Manchester Christmas Markets and Manchester City Council, are adding extra magical sparkle to the Christmas Parade day with free hot chocolate and Christmas goodies galore, delivered by a team of Santa’s cheeky elves.

The first 1500 people to come to our special pop-up grotto dressed in a Santa hat or full Santa suit, will receive a free hot chocolate voucher to be redeemed at selected stalls at the Christmas Markets. The grotto will be between Designer Exchange and Pure Piercing, opposite Astons of Manchester in the Royal Exchange Manchester arcade. The Royal Exchange Manchester’s Christmas choir will also be there to delight all the Santas with festive tunes. 

Arrive early to the Christmas Parade and from 12.30pm Santa's cheeky elves will start the party with goodies and giveaways to those waiting on the parade route before the parade starts at 1pm.
