If you can’t guess from the giant Zippy Santa, this is Manchester Christmas Markets. Santa sits on the Town Hall and oversees the goings on at the market, which when I visited mainly involved mulled wine and a very very good plate of pie and mash.
I love the Christmas Market, I go every year with my best friend Bob who is also a freelance copywriter, it’s our annual “works Christmas do” and something I look forward to for months.
This was taken with my Nokia Lumia phone, a quick snap in between mulled wines, but it turned out pretty well. I like the way the bright lights are captured.
My parents went to the Manchester markets last week and were very positive about it. We’ve stuck a little closer to home but there is something magical about any Christmas market, isn’t there> The kids love it.
I love a good Christmas market too, we’ve just been to one, I think it will be my Country Kids next week. Yes please to the mulled wine, so festive.
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas….heheheI I do love a Christmas market! x
Yes, mulled wine please. 🙂 I am up for Christmas markets too. x
I always loved going to the Christmas Market in Edinburgh, must find one over here! Sounds like you had a wonderful time x
That’s a very bug Santa, we have a Christmas market in our town this year we haven’t had the chance to visit it yet x
Oh I so want to go soon. We’ve all been a bit ill so couldn’t make it this weekend. Hoping I might be able to pop there midweek!
Love Christmas markets, sounds like you had an awesome time 🙂
Wow that looks awesome. Loving all the Christmas lights
Thank you for linking up
That’s awesome Santa! Love the fact that you were drinking mulled wine and had no camera shake…oh and that you even surprised yourself 😉 xx #MySundayPhoto
You see Zippy I see Homer. No visit to the Manchester Markets is complete without mulled wine and taking the obligatory picture of Santa/Zippy/Homer. We visited 2 weeks ago and had such a fantastic time, eating and drinking our way around the stalls x
Ha ha I giggle every time I see this Santa, he looks so much like Zippy but Manchester would not be the same without him x
Its beginning to look like Christmas….
That is a very big Santa! Love this time of year and visiting Christmas markets 🙂
