mARkETS<br />
It’s time to wrap up warm and head off to a Christmas<br />
Market to experience a festive array of sights, smells and<br />
sounds. Nothing gets us in a seasonal mood more than a<br />
visit to the Christmas Markets, partaking in a glass or two of<br />
Glühwein or mulled wine, whilst attempting to decimate<br />
your present list with a bit of Christmas shopping.<br />
Here’s our recommendations for your annual Christmas<br />
Market trip – all tried and tested destinations plus a<br />
surprise debut to the world of Christmas Markets from<br />
the entertainment centre of the North West - Blackpool!<br />
manCHESTER<br />
The original and biggest Christmas market in the<br />
country, Manchester Christmas Markets is the place<br />
to go. Arriving in the city in 1999, the market has<br />
grown every year since, now attracting more than<br />
nine million visitors each year to the heart of the<br />
buzzing city centre.<br />
Its 300 beautifully festooned stalls and chalets<br />
offer a dazzling array of hand-crafted Yuletide gifts<br />
along with a mouth-watering range of international<br />
food and drinks. Follow the market trail as it winds<br />
through the city centre, with stall holders tempting<br />
you with gifts, crafts, jewellery, toys and much more.<br />
And don’t forget the food! Manchester’s Christmas<br />
Markets are known for traditional bratwurst, but<br />
visitors can also try Hungarian goulash, Spanish<br />
paella or a good old-fashioned hog roast.<br />
The Manchester Christmas Markets run from Friday<br />
12th <strong>November</strong> to Wednesday 22nd December.<br />
