EVERY year at the salon I ask the team what there want to do for the Christmas party.

So we all get our ideas together and come up with a plan to make the festive period a little more memorable.

This year we decided to go to the Christmas markets in Manchester and a meal after.

We look to get into the festive spirit when leaving from the salon with all of us wearing are Christmas jumper.

So here we all are in the salon all doll up to hit the markets.

Soaking up the atmosphere and follow the market trail as it winds through the city centre, tempting me with gifts, crafts, jewellery, clothes and toys.

European and local producers offer everything from fine amber jewellery, handcrafted leather bags and top-quality bonsai trees, to handmade Belgian kitchenware, framed photo prints and French soaps. And when planning your visit, don’t miss the amazing array of food and drink.

Manchester’s Christmas Markets are famous for traditional bratwurst, but you can also treat yourself to Hungarian goulash, Spanish paella or a good old-fashioned hog roast (which obviously I don’t have!).

There are also plenty of vegetarian options on offer, and for those with a sweet tooth the choices are even more mouth-watering! Pancake with strawberry and chocolate and waffle with melting chocolate.

Next stop for us girls was a meal at a restaurant called TOPS in the city centre. We have to say we all had a great ‘Christmas do’.

Merry Christmas to all my readers and I hope you have a wonderful time.
