It might be getting colder outside, but now’s certainly not the time to hide away. There are so many fun activities to enjoy through December in the city of Manchester, and they’re a great way to socialise and meet new friends!
Lace up your skates and join us for an afternoon of festive fun at the outdoor ice skating rink in Manchester’s city centre. Beautifully set in New Bailey, right next to Spinningfields, the ice rink is said to be the number one attraction in Manchester’s Christmas Calendar.
Hosting a number of themed events throughout the holiday season so far, including DJ and choir nights, our trip to the rink will be great fun for those who can’t wait to get on the ice, and even for those who would rather spectate.

If you’re in need of any last minute gifts, or would even like to treat yourself, then a trip to the Trafford shopping centre could be just what you’re after. Hundreds of stores, delicious restaurants and lively bars, this is the ideal hub for taking some time away from your studies to relax with friends.
Be sure to check out the traditional Victorian Carousel and festive stalls in Barton Square, for lots of tasty treats and handmade gifts.
