Manchester's Christmas Markets are renowned for the fabulous mugs - every year a new design adorns the delicious hot drinks. The concept is very green and means that - over the years - we've saved millions of disposable mugs from going to landfill.
This is how it works:
- Pay the deposit of £3.50 on top of the price of your drink.
- Enjoy your hot chocolate, gluhwein or coffee.
- Option a: keep the mug as a souvenir
- Option b: return it to any participating outlet on any of the 10 market sites for a full refund of your £3.50
The deposit on 'glasses' for other drinks is £2 (they're not made of glass!)
