Manchester Christmas activities to spread good cheer

Whether you’re planning a Christmas office party and want to shake things up a bit with something different from the usual dinner and drinks, you’re looking for a seasonal gift experience to spoil your hard-working friend with, or if you’re seeking an escape from a never-ending to-do list and fancy a bit of me-time, our Christmas activities in Manchester are here for you! 

Connect with a local artisan in the city and help your workmates feel the spirit of the season with a festive paint party! Our Manchester paint and sip classes are ideal for groups and give you and your colleagues the chance to bond over a fun arty activity whilst enjoying a glass of wine and some nibbles. You’ll all head home with a piece of your own artwork and lots of happy memories of a fun and festive evening. All our Manchester painting classes are beginner-friendly and are hosted by talented and friendly art tutors so everyone can relax and enjoy the experience!

If you’re in the market for some me-time this year, treat yourself to a creative escape and enjoyf a well-deserved break with a hands-on experience that’ll take you away from your to-do list for a few hours. Try a soothing candle making class, make something delicious at an Indian cooking class or Christmas baking workshop, or wash away your worries with a watercolour painting experience. Whether you’d love to take the time to indulge in an existing hobby or want to learn something new, give yourself the gift of creativity this winter and enjoy one of our Manchester workshops.

Looking for a way to treat a busy mate or seeking out an idea for a Christmas get-together for you and some friends? Do something different this year and gather your gang up for some jewellery making in a cosy studio in the city, have a go at an iPhone photography class and tour Manchester with a photography pro to perfect your photography skills and capture all the sparkling Christmas lights, or roll some dough and go all out with toppings at an upbeat pizza making class. Other options include pottery making classes, glass art experiences, cocktail making classes and glass terrarium building. Whatever you pick for you and your pals, you’ll be sure to add a smile to your face this festive season!

Soothing Christmas activities in Manchester will ease seasonal stresses

Christmas is a wonderful time of year but it’s also a busy one and sometimes it can feel quite hectic in the lead-up to the big day. Make choosing and preparing Christmas gifts part of the fun this winter and pick a creative workshop where you can relax and learn something new whilst making some DIY gifts at the same time! If this sounds appealing, add a soothing pottery making class to the top of your list and learn how to hand build with clay whilst completely switching off. You can make a selection of gorgeous handmade gifts for your loved ones whilst treating yourself to a soothing creative activity. 

If you simply need some downtime and want to take a bit of a break from the festive prep as December creeps closer, add a little stress-free fun to the season with a vegan cooking class, a cocktail making workshop for you and your friends or a relaxing drawing course to enjoy with your partner. 

If you'd love to focus on creating happy Christmas memories with your nearest and dearest this year and want to be a bit more sustainable with your gift-giving, why not swap the stress of trying to choose the perfect present for experience gifts for your loved ones that’ll allow you to spend quality time together. Pick one of our Manchester Christmas activities - a Christmas wreath making class, an art class, a gingerbread house making kit or an eco-friendly dried flower arranging workshop - and have a lovely time with the people special to you. You’ll all remember it long after the festive season!
