Manchester Christmas Light Switch-On – Manchester Cathedral
In the past Christmas in Manchester hadn’t officially arrived until the firework have adorned the Town Hall, however with the transformation of the iconic site comes the need for a new location, one that will delight those who’ve chose CitySuites as their base during their time in Manchester over the Christmas period. The Manchester cathedral will step in as the host location, just across the Victoria bridge and a 2-minute walk from the doorsteps of CitySuites. The night is always quite the spectacle and aside from the fireworks the line-up includes Becky Hill, best known for her collaborations with acts including Sigala, Rudimental and Wilkinson; YouTube sensation and former CBBC presenter HRVY and X Factor girl group Four of Diamonds.This year’s event will take place on Thursday, 14 November - the week following the Christmas Markets opening (Friday 8 November).

Liam Gallagher – Manchester Arena Wed 20th Nov
The prodigal son, Liam Gallagher returns home as part of his world tour ahead of the release of his new album 'Why Me? Why Not'.
