A study has found the most festive places across the country
Manchester has been named one of the best places in the UK to spend Christmas , according to new research. Magical Christmas markets, a city-centre ice rink and a bustling food and drink scene have all helped to secure Manchester’s place as one of the top festive destinations.
Two other Scottish destinations made up the top three, with Glasgow in second place and Edinburgh in third place. Researchers looked at the number of hiking trails, the number of Google searches for Christmas walks, duration of Christmas markets and ice rink ratings, along with several other factors, to rank each destination with a ‘Christmas adventure score’.
Manchester achieved a score of 9.29, with a highly rated ice rink and lengthy run of Christmas markets helping it to secure sixth place. Meanwhile Inverness obtained a score of 9.86. Sheffield, at the bottom of the list, achieved a score of 9.09.
