What if you could nail some of your Christmas shopping whilst having a fab night out?This November, Manchester Night Market returns for its fourth winter season, making its debut at the Monastery for one delightful evening. We're talking 100+ carefully selected independent makers, artists and small businesses under one roof for an evening of festive shopping, street food and music.
Night Market UK will be taking over the Cloisters and Great Nave, filling the entire ground floor with handmade gifts, artwork, jewellery, homeware, clothing and seasonal treats from independent traders across the region.
With Christmas approaching, it's an opportunity to relax, enjoy and browse at your own pace, discover independent makers and find gifts you won't see on the high street.
Expect a superb assortment of delicious street food vendors at the front of the building (with outdoor and indoor seating), the bar in the Great Nave serving up the very best of the festive bevvies, and the Sanctuary Cafe will be open and ready with your favourite hot drinks (both alcoholic and alco-free).
Music from DJ Butho the Warrior will provide the soundtrack as you browse the stalls and enjoy an evening bursting with independent creativity in one of Manchester's most distinctive heritage buildings.
This is a one night only event and tickets tend to sell quickly, so early booking is recommended.
Book your discounted advance tickets online and take advantage of the online-only two-ticket deal for £14, with full price tickets available at the door on the night.
