Family Days Out in Manchester

Manchester has reinvented itself over the last decade and offers great opportunities for a family day out, and most of it is free!

Over the Christmas period, Manchester hosts a huge Christmas market. Kids will love the hundreds of stalls and entertainers and there is hot mulled wine to keep the adults warm!
