Manchester Christmas Markets 2022 prices for Winter Gardens food and drinks including veggie food

There are advent calendars on supermarket shelves, festive adverts on TV and the Manchester Christmas Markets are now open – which means the festive season has officially begun.

Thousands of people are expected to descend on Manchester to soak up the Christmassy atmosphere at the markets, which are taking over a big swathe of the city centre. They stretch all the way from Cathedral Gardens, down Market Street and through to Piccadilly Gardens, where the main attraction, the Winter Gardens, is located. There are dozens of stalls selling all kinds of crafts, like Christmas tree decorations, candles and jewellery, but the number one reason people flock to the markets has got to be the food and drink.

As well as the market favourites – gluhwein and bratwurst – there are Greek gyros, roast dinner wraps, paella and pizza to name but a few options. And it’s also a great place to go if you just fancy a hot drink or a warming winter cocktail. New for this year is a giant, cosy Nordic-themed double tipi bar, which has its own fire-pit.

If you’re looking to plan your trip to the markets in advance, here’s an idea of how much the festive treats will cost at the Winter Gardens - and check out our guide to all nine Christmas Market locations here.
