The current Christmassy events taking place throughout our city are inspiring all of us at The Agency Creative. Manchester is an exciting place, full of support and personality. We are most impressed with the new lights/attractions displayed around the city centre. The idea that the Manchester Bee is the focal point of the entire theme is stunning. We are really starting to see the Mancunian identity shine through! Although our beloved ‘zippy’ Santa has been relocated to Trafford Park, the new Santa has its own credibility as it’s holding the Bee.

We are excited about the scale of the lights as they add some surrealism/magic into the city at Christmas. People who are visiting the Christmas markets or other areas in the city will be stunned by the lights throughout their stay. Lots of buildings and areas throughout the city have joined in with the festive spirit, lights and decorations streaming down the cities framework are just incredible. It is a fantastic opportunity for the city to become a destination for future tourists. They make it exciting to live here too!

As creatives, we appreciate the time and effort that has gone into the city this Christmas. It has inspired us to test out our photography skills and creative ideas.
