Christmas is now just a week away, so if you haven't already sorted your shopping, it's time to get a wriggle on.
That said, chances are the Trafford Centre is likely to be high on your list of places to visit, as it has more shops than you can shake a stick at, as well as loads of restaurants you can eat at for a well-deserved break.
As well as that, you can enjoy Christmas carols from local choirs and brass bands whilst you shop, take a spin on the Big Wheel or visit the Alpine Village, complete with huge tepee, fire pits, festive entertainment and delicious treats (open until 5 January).
