York & Manchester Christmas Markets - Turkey & Tinsel

Local departure by coach, then on to Halifax and our hotel for four nights. We enjoy a festive treat on arrival to get into the spirit of the season.

Manchester boasts fantastic culture with attractions such as the Museum of Science and Industry and the Manchester Art Gallery, and it has excellent restaurants and shopping opportunities. Pick up some early Christmas gifts at Manchester Arndale shopping centre, high street destinations such as Exchange Square and Market Street, or the boutique districts around King Street, Spinningfields and New Cathedral Street and browse their designer shops. Or if one-off independents and handmade is more your thing, Manchester's alternative and creative heart, The Northern Quarter, is home to countless vintage stores, record shops, cafés, bars and restaurants. Manchester is also home to some of the best Christmas Markets in the country, with hundreds of little stalls popping up over the city selling both local and international products and food*. *Please Note: Christmas markets are subject to confirmation and may not operate on these dates.

Join our included excursion to Leeds. This northern power-house rivals our Capital in many ways making it a fantastic city to explore. One of the biggest shopping spots outside London, Leeds has elegant arcades, designer boutiques and high street stores aplenty.

Included excursion to historic York, with a fine array of museums and shopping opportunities. Encircled by a city wall, enjoy time on the Shambles cobbled street with its quaint shops, marvel at the Minster or browse the stalls of York Christmas Market *. *Please Note: Christmas markets are subject to confirmation and may not operate on these dates.

We depart the hotel this morning full of festive cheer and return home.
