TutuTallulah Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Just wondered if anyone had been and if it was any good this year? I went a couple of years ago and had a lovely time. I am going again with my daughter next Monday and just had a look at the map on the website - it looks much bigger than my previous visit. I'm hoping to pick up some last minute gifts and we're going on the train so we can indulge in the mulled wine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Pop into the get togethers section and you will find a thread devoted to this very subject. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I'm going again this week - through the week, rather than weekend. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TutuTallulah Posted December 13, 2010 Author Share Posted December 13, 2010 Thanks Eggluntyne and CHP x Just had a look at the 'get togethers' thread - it sounds like it will be a lovely day out, we just need to wrap up warm! When I was there last time there was a man selling willow deer - I so want one this year, I just hope we can get it home on the train...

gongladosh Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 The Christmas market in Manchester tends to grow every year - this year there's a French section. Pleasingly, in the main bit, the price of gluhwein hasn't gone up (for once!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I thought it had. Could have sworn it was £2.50 last year. £3 this year & £3.50 if you want rum or something else in it. £3.99 a bottle from the supermarkets. I'm not a miser - but it is naughty that they are selling Aldi & Lidl bottles of Gluhwein for £7 on the markets! Wish they'd bring back the cute little gluhwein jug mugs - instead of these contemporary style ones with ' the wheel on'. We are going again tomorrow. Watch out Paperchase & Selfridges!

gongladosh Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 I only bought one of those bratwursts this year - I'm sure they're about £50 a sausage now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
