The Manchester Christmas Markets have already started to fill the city centre with festive cheer.
Although we're in the middle of November, you'll see stall after stall of bratwurst, gluhwein and other Christmas treats.
It's a firm-favourite destination over the holiday period for a fun-filled evening and the place to go for gift shopping.
And it even attracts visitors from afar with it being named the best location in Britain for Christmas markets, according to figures from Booking.com.
But whether you're feeling bah humbug over the slow-moving crowds or if you're a last-minute shopper, then you'll need to know when it all comes to an end.
The 20th installment of the markets officially opened on Friday, November 8, with more than 300 traders operating across eight different locations in the city.
Stalls will be open seven days a week but depending on where they are based, there are varied opening and closing times, along with different end dates.
