Manchester Christmas Markets: 23 pictures of Winter Gardens food and drink stalls and more on opening day

Manchester's Christmas Markets have opened for another year - and we've been out and about taking a look around.

There's 225 stalls in all across several locations. Take a look at some pictures from the opening day, including that all-important mug, which is back better than ever, and those favourite spots you can't wait to head back to.

You can find all you need to know about this year's festivities in our handy guide and we've also taken a look at some of the prices of the Winter Gardens stalls.
