Started in 1999, Manchester's Christmas Markets now attracts in the region of nine million visitors - 240,000 every day that it's open, according to council figures.
Ok that does seem a lot, but it's Christmas, so we'll let the council have that stat.
Enjoy...
Market opening times: Friday 14 November to Sunday 21 December, 10am to 9pm daily (other sites close at 7.30pm). More here...
