Manchester Christmas Markets food and drink prices at Winter Gardens including mulled wine and beer

Manchester’s fantastic Christmas Markets opened on Friday - bringing with them the beginning of the festive season.

Like many we went out and took a look around on opening day to get in the spirit of things. One big thing for most punters between now and Christmas will be how much a day at the markets is going to cost - or even just if you're nipping out for lunch. So we’ve rounded up what things will set you back at Winter Gardens AKA Piccadilly Gardens, below.

The traders in that part of the city are mostly the same with Flat Baker, a viral bakery based in Ancoats, among the newcomers. By and large it looks like things will cost you 50p to £1 more than last year.
