Hatch, Manchester’s collective of independent food, drink and retail traders is hosting a Christmas festival housed in their spacious venue nestled under the Mancunian Way. Evergreen: A Festival of Winter and Christmas boasts an impressive programme of events alongside the festive food, drink and retail opportunities on offer from Hatch’s resident traders. We’ve rounded up the very best events on offer, so make sure you stop by and get into the festive spirit at Hatch’s festive hideaway.
If, like Hatch, you believe that Christmas shouldn’t cost the Earth, then this event is for you. Manchester’s first ever fully sustainable Christmas market will take place at Hatch over one weekend, with a zero-waste ethos and plenty of food, retail and entertainment to keep you occupied, including live music and DJs all night.
Reckon your festive fact finding is up to scratch? Come along and have a go at the Christmas edition of festive quiz night Quizimodo – it only costs £1 to enter, but there are limited spaces available so arrive early to make sure you can take part!
In honour of Small Business Saturday, Hatch will be celebrating with a whole day of giveaways and prizes for their customers – alongside inviting you down to find the perfect Christmas gift at one of their many independent retail outlets. If you needed any more incentive to shop local, this is certainly it.
This is a truly unmissable opportunity to get some Christmas shopping done – indie stalwart Afflecks Palace is teaming up with Hatch for one day of alternative Christmas markets at their iconic Mancunian Way location. Find something truly unique for everyone on your Christmas shopping list from this highly diverse mix of independent retailers.
