Manchester Christmas Market at Night

Join us as we enjoy the Christmas Market and the Christmas Lights at night on Saturday 20th December 2025.

The Manchester Christmas lights trail will be back - illuminating the city centre throughout the festive season with giant walk-through baubles, a Manchester bee, and of course Santa Claus himself. The iconic Big Santa will be keeping a watchful eye on everyone for his naughty or nice lists, from his perch on high in front of Central Library on St Peter's Square.
Skate Manchester's covered rink takes up position in Cathedral Gardens where skaters can spin and twirl around a beautiful Christmas tree amid twinkling lights, Christmas songs, and the smell of gingerbread.

Leaving Manchester at approximately 9:30pm giving you the chance to experience the magic of Christmas!
