Manchester’s Christmas Markets are back for 2026, filling ten city-centre locations with festive stalls, food and drink. They run from Friday 6 November to Tuesday 22 December 2026, and the Albert Square and Cathedral Gardens markets stay open until Sunday 3 January 2027.
The markets are open-air and set in public squares and streets, so there is nothing to pay to walk round, browse and soak up the atmosphere – you only pay for what you buy.
Albert Square has a helter-skelter and big wheel this year; rides like these are paid for separately. Locations include Albert Square, Lincoln Square, King Street, St Ann’s Square and Cathedral Gardens – see Manchester City Council’s page for the full list and opening times.
