Manchester Xmas Markets - anyone been yet?

i'm going in december with my siblings and their other halves, but was going to head up on my own (as the december visit will be alcoholically fuelled...) was wondering if anyone been yet? and would you reckon it would be a dog friendly wander?

to far for me

but think of all that german beer...

i only like Jamaican beer lol

No never been sounds fab though  

Bar humbug, shop online and have peaceful walks  

Not been yet but half tempted to hop on the train with Ledger and check it out

 train trip come to notts and i will come with you

Thats a long way round to get to Manchester

so what you get there lol

From here it's £9.50 return and half hour each way think that's long enough to keep Ledger occupied :S

ooo i thought crewe was near birmingham

Just slightly closer to Manchester

Ooo so lucky - we don't have anything like Christmas markets! My cousin who's just opened a gorgeous looking cheese shop in Knutsford will be at the market though - jealous  

Heard lots of good things Asa, let us know how it is

Might go with my sister when I visit her and the bump next weekend!

What shop? I work in Knutsford, and I like cheese. This could be the start of something special...

No I have never been, a bit of a long journey for us at the moment.

We have our own little Christmas fair in our local town so I will hopfully be able to get along to that this year as we haven't been for ages. I like that kind of thing.

yes notts has an pretty good one we get people from dermark sweeden market stalls which is pretty cool

On the train now pics later

 jules you do like your trips lol wish i had the ball to go places like you

The Cheese Yard - from what I've seen and read it looks amazing! They sent me the cut out from the Knutford local paper too - I need to get over to the UK soon  

Just a pic from the train :)didn't stay there long just an hour or so, some lovely looking things if that is what you are looking for, Ledger was in his element keeping the floor clean especially when I grabbed a hot pork sandwich and they cooled and threw some down for him. It was still fairly busy might be too much for some dogs on the weekends

Thought it might have tired Ledger out who was on best behaviour on the train (the Kong and a jar of peanut butter might have helped) but no he has just emptied out his entire toy basket could be fun at agility later

awwww

Aww Jules, he looks great! You also have a Julius K9 harness!! What does your strip say? Roxy has "girl power" and Vinny has "boss"
