Miracle on Cross Street – the much-loved festive experience will return this November with twinkling lights, festive spirit and plenty of seasons greetings.

Michael Wood, Head of Bar Operations for Miracle on Cross Street said:

“We’re incredibly excited to bring Miracle on Cross Street back to Manchester. It has been three years since we last opened the doors and, while guests can expect the same sense of fun, escapism and Christmas spirit, we’ve refined the experience and added some special new touches for 2026.

“Christmas in Manchester is always brilliant, and we want Miracle on Cross Street to be somewhere people can step away from the busy city, enjoy a festive drink and completely immerse themselves in the magic of the season. Whether it’s a Christmas catch-up, date night or festive celebration with friends, we can’t wait to welcome everyone back.”

Tickets will be priced at £20 per person and will include a festive drink on arrival and a Christmas goody bag to take home. Guests will also be treated to complimentary mince pies and Quality Street during their visit

The experience will continue after guests leave the festive hideaway, with every visitor receiving a scratch card offering surprises and rewards to enjoy upstairs at Salt Dog Slims, including free shots and hot dogs plus the chance to win a £500 cash prize.
