craftyhunnypie Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 We went last year & they were just like the real thing minus the snow! So wondered who else might like to visit them? Here is the link....well worth a train ride & there is a direct line from Sandbach & the station is only round the corner & up the road from my house - brill! http://www.manchester.gov.uk/site/scripts/news_article.php?newsID=3151 Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Wow, that sounds wonderfully festive. Enough to put even Scrooge in the Christmas spirit . A bit far for us so we're going to the Christmas Market in Lincoln instead which sounds as if it's going to be rather nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muppet81 Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Hello, I haven't managed to make it to an Omlet meet as yet. This would be one I could probably make .. would you like to count me in provisionaly as I am only a train journey from Manchester. I would love to meet some of you. I have been to the Manchester Christmas markets a few times and they are really good. WARNING though ..they are also very crowded and last year as I opened my zipped up bag to get my purse out, in went a hand and out went my credit cards. Please be really wary.

Egluntyne Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 These events are always magnets for pickpockets unfortunately. Right chaps...are we on? Looks like a weekend will be favourite. Sat Dec 8th Sun Dec 9th Sat Dec 15th Sun Dec 16th? This weekend is probably too short notice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules. Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Well i can come either this Sat ( but as you say Egluntine it might be a bit short notice) or Sat 8th Dec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
