The plan is to get as many artisans as possible to be able to display their wares. It\u2019s absolutely thrilling working with such talented people, there\u2019s so much talent in Manchester. It\u2019s incredible.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"LINE-HEIGHT: 1.3em\">All manner of stalls can be found in Spinningfield\u2019s Square this Christmas. You can buy anything from handmade soap, to Christmas pudding. From paintings by Manchester artists to gourmet marshmallows.
