Who says that you need to hitch a lift with Rudolf on a dodgy wooden sleigh to head to a Winter Wonderland?….

And would your Winter Wonderland offer the most creative cocktails, scrummiest soup and funkiest tunes? I think not….

But guess what? You can get it all here in Manchester. You just need to head down to Cathedral Gardens in the heart of the city to experience all that is seasonal (and alternative) in the country’s music capital.

It’s on for 8 weeks from NOW from noon til 11pm and it’s free to get in!

It’s been brought to the city by Ear to the Ground Productions who have brought us 10 years of the DPercussion festival in Castlefield so there’ll be tunes for everyone.

SEE YOU THERE?……..
