Manchester’s world-famous Christmas Markets will once again transform the city centre into a festive wonderland, from Friday 7 November to Monday 22 December 2025.
This year's Christmas Markets will be bigger and better than ever. There will be over 200 stalls across ten sites, including a reopened section of Albert Square. With unique activities at every site, you’ll find something for the whole family this Christmas.
Albert Square will host ‘A Taste of Christmas’: a festive ‘mini market’ selling food, drinks and crafts. The square will be home to a huge Ferris wheel, giving breathtaking views of Manchester’s Town Hall.
Get wrapped up in the magical atmosphere as you browse local and international crafts. Enjoy all your favourite foods, from swing grills to Dutch pancakes, and visit bars serving hot drinks in our iconic mugs.
With old favourites and exciting new additions, it’ll be a Christmas to remember.
