Freight Island brings festive family fun with The Magic of Christmas

Your Christmas plans are sorted this year at Manchester's Freight Island as they welcome you and the whole family for a storybook experience.

Date published: 25th Sep 2026

It's never too early to have your Christmas plans sorted, and if you're part of the crowd who likes to get yours in early, then you're in luck. With Freight Island being one of Manchester's most diverse venues, they are coming through this Christmas with The Magic of Christmas, a storybook experience. 

The event will entail a 90‑minute festive adventure for the whole family, including ten storybook stops, a visit to Santa's Lodge, and a Christmas Village built to feel like the inside of a snow globe. Commencing from Saturday 21st November to Thursday 24th December, Freight Island will be decked out with a beautifully decorated Christmas Village. 

With every corner set to be dressed to sprinkle a little extra sparkle into your festive season, how could you not want to take a visit to see Santa himself? Plus, with no queuing in the cold, just pure Christmas cheer from the moment you walk in, what more could you ask for?
