It’s party season, and we’re bringing you our list of the hottest spots in town to celebrate. Whether you want something family friendly, or a crazy night on the town – our rundown of Christmas events has something for everyone.
Christmas is just around the corner, and before you know it the festive season will be upon us with lots of Christmas and New Year events to look forward to. While lots of Christmas events have been cancelled over the past few years due to the pandemic, this year they are set to be back on in full force once again. Whether you are looking for a romantic event to attend with your significant other or somewhere to take the kids to enjoy the festive season, the best Christmas and New Year events in the North West are always popular, with tickets selling out quickly.
Lightopia
Lightopia in Heaton Park, Manchester is one of the most popular Christmas and New Year events to attend in the North West, with tickets selling out quickly on a yearly basis. It’s £20 for adults and £13 for kids if you get advance tickets, or you can pay £2 more per ticket to buy them on the day. Even better, get a family ticket for two adults and two kids for £60 if you get an advance ticket or £68 if you pay on the day.
It’s an outdoor event, so make sure that you wrap up warm as the weather in Manchester can be very unpredictable at this time of year. Keep your feet warm, dry and comfortable with these Hunter Arctic Moss Play Short Boots, and keep yourself warm and toasty as you enjoy the light show with the Black Caban Padded Coat from Armani Exchange. The show runs from the end of December until the beginning of January, so you can go for either Christmas, New Year, or both.
