Pantomime!

Christmas isn't the same without a good old pantomime is it?! Just down the road from the Spinningfields, the Opera House is showing the classic Peter Pan. Traditionally, an actress plays the title role of Peter Pan and the Opera House doesn't' disappoint with Bury-born star of soap and reality TV, Gemma Atkinson. Captain Hook is played by another Mancunian favourite, John Thomson! So during your stay in Manchester, enjoy a bit of escapism and disappear to Neverland for a few hours of swashbuckling action, fun and frolics!

From the 18^th November to the 22^nd December, the Christmas spirit will spread throughout Manchester’s city centre. Manchester’s Christmas markets are considered to be some of the best in the world and there is no denying the festive atmosphere on Albert Square with the little wooden chalet stalls, white fairy lights, giant Father Christmas sitting over the entrance to the town hall and the scent of mulled wine and roasted chestnuts in the cold winter air. With the markets staying open until 8 or 9 pm and located near our Tib Lane location, you will get lots of opportunity to practise ordering food and drink after a hard day’s studying Business English!
