If there’s one thing you have to do when you’re in Manchester, it’s something Oasis-related. Get down to Halle St Peters on 14th November and experience Oasis classics like you’ve never seen them before. The Northern String Quartet do a stunning job, this will be a night that you’ll remember for a long time.

David Hockney: Bigger & Closer (not smaller & further away)

If you visited the Van Gogh exhibitions previously, this will be right up your street. Welcome to sixty years of Hockney’s work, with state-of-the-art projections and a revolutionary sound system, you have the opportunity to explore the world through his eyes. This is the first time that the show has left London, so if you want to get involved, this is your chance. Doors open 10th December, and run through to 25th January.

We absolutely live for the markets each year, and we’re counting down the days until they come back on 8th November through to 22nd December. Whether you’re looking for fun presents, tasty treats, or just an enjoyable walk around, the markets are the perfect choice.
