Arndale Centre Christmas and Boxing Day opening times and hours

As Christmas rolls around the corner, many shoppers will be eager to finish off the last of their Christmas shopping.

With the Christmas Markets fully in swing, the city centre will likely be extremely busy for the next month but that doesn't mean you can't get your shopping done. However, what it does mean is that opening times for stores will change slightly to help accommodate the increased demand during the season.

And with over 240 retailers, the Manchester Arndale is the easiest spot in the city centre to find whatever kind of Christmas present you need for friends and family. There will also be a string of seasonal pop-up shops throughout the Christmas period situated in the Arndale as part of its The Spirit of Christmas campaign.
