We all know what Christmas shopping is like: you think you’ve cracked it, you sit down to wrap everything up and – OH NO! – reality dawns.

You’ve forgotten a present, you’ve not bought enough wrapping paper, the dog has buried the sticky tape in the back garden, everyone thought someone else was buying the sprouts…!

Something always happens to you just as the stores are preparing to shut up shop for the holidays.

To help you get to the shops on time for that little something else you need, we thought it would be useful to pull together a guide to the opening hours of Manchester’s biggest shops and department stores, as well as a couple of quirky local boutiques for those after a unique pressie.

If you find this useful, you might also like our guide to supermarket opening hours around the region, which you can find here .
