This year marks a special year for the UK's capital of Christmas as it was exactly 25 Christmases ago that Manchester's first-ever Christmas market took place in 1998.
A quarter of a century later the markets continue to attract Mancunians and visitors alike to the city in their thousands to fill up on the fantastic festive treats on offer.
With over 225 stalls across nine sites in the city centre selling food, drink, crafts and seasonal gifts, and just this week voted Europe's favourite Christmas Markets, the markets are a must-see attraction for visitors and local people alike, guaranteed to get everyone in the Christmas spirit.
This year sees the iconic wooden ski chalet market stalls take over Piccadilly Gardens - transformed for the festive season into the Winter Gardens - as well as Market Street, Cathedral Gardens, Exchange Street, New Cathedral Street, St Ann's Square, Exchange Square, The Corn Exchange and King Street.
With food and drink stalls cooking up everything from vegan 5-bean Chilli, gourmet Italian pizza, Bratwurst and Korean Hotdogs, to pancakes and everyone's favourite chocolate dipped Churros, there's plenty to satisfy foodies and Christmas shoppers alike.
Visitors looking for a hot drink or a cheeky tipple with friends also won't be disappointed with a selection of drinks to quench the thirstiest of Christmas market-goers - whether it's a hot chocolate laden with marshmallows whipped cream and festive sprinkles they're after, or a grown-up Gluhwein, German beer, or even Salford Rum.
