We are now well and truly on festive countdown - as the dates and times for Manchester Christmas Markets have been confirmed.
And the good news for revellers is that this year we will get SEVEN full weekends of the festive markets instead of six, due to the way the dates fall in 2024.
The wooden huts will once again be taking over nine different zones across Manchester city centre. As the M.E.N. has previously reported, Albert Square will not be ready to be back in use this year despite hopes it would host the big festive return in 2024.
So the main hub will once again be Piccadilly Gardens, which will transform into Winter Gardens for the market extravaganza.
