This Christmas, visitors will be able to take a 1-mile-long walk around Heaton Park as they go on an adventure around the 14 illumination zones, which will each offer their own unique personalities and tasty pit stops along the way.
The trails are aimed at ages and backgrounds in mind and are being brought to Manchester from the organisers of the Northern Lights Trails in Cardiff, Leeds and Newcastle
Along with the trail itself, you can also visit the Christmas Village. Here you will find a whole host of street food with a mix of popular classics alongside more creative menu options, with many exotic toppings, sides and relishes.
