Manchester Valentine's Market

Love your partner but don’t love the tackiness around Valentine’s Day? Want to buy them something without buying into the commercial aspect of the day?

Why not save your present buying for Manchester Valentine’s Market, taking place in Picadilly Gardens on the 11th and 12th February.

With stalls from independent traders and craftspeople, the market will be an eleventh hour saviour for lovers who don't know what to buy their special someone. You'll find lots of original, non-corny gifts such as luxury aromatherapy products by Pure Indulgence, glass art and jewellery from Glass2Die4, and handmade clothing and accessories by Woodchip Boutique.

There will also be individual Valentine's cards (classy ones, mind) and freshly-cut bouquets at the nearby Flower Market. Those who are planning to seduce their prey through a candlelit dinner can pick up the necessary ingredients at stalls from the Real Food Market traders. They've got fresh fish and meat, naughty puddings, and all their usual delights. There are few things more romantic than a traditionally-reared sausage.
