Christmas City Break Near Manchester from £129 with Panto

Families in Manchester can book a festive mini-break in Liverpool, 40 minutes away, with pantomime tickets included, from £129 for one adult and one child. The deal, offered by Wowcher, includes tickets to see Cinderella at the M&S Bank Arena and saves up to 37% on a hotel stay and panto tickets, according to the deals website.

What the Liverpool Stay for Adults & Kids Includes

The Liverpool Stay for Adults & Kids allows upgrades to a party of up to two adults and two kids. Bookers can choose between a three-star or four-star hotel, though hotels are allocated subject to availability. Wowcher notes that hotels will be in a central location, ideal for exploring Liverpool at Christmastime.

Vouchers can be used for bookings from December 12 until December 29 and must be booked at least three weeks in advance. Once confirmed, bookings are non-amendable and non-refundable, warns Wowcher.

How to Book and What to Expect

To book, customers select a travel date, buy the Wowcher holiday, download the Wowcher app, and redeem the code in MyWowchers. Wowcher describes the deal as offering flexibility for couples and families, blending hotel comfort with an evening at the Cinderella pantomime.

This year's Cinderella features Strictly Come Dancing's Neil Jones as Prince Charming from December 20, with Orla Ridpath and Shelley Anne Rivers as the ugly sisters. For those skipping the hotel, panto tickets are available via the M&S Bank Arena website from around £20.

Reviews and Alternatives

While the Liverpool Stay deal has no reviews yet, other Liverpool breaks via Wowcher have drawn praise on Trustpilot. One reviewer said: "A night in the centre of Liverpool, bottle of Prosecco and breakfast for £79 total for two. What's not to like and everything about the hotel was great." Another noted the booking process was easy, completing it in 15 minutes, while a third praised the hotel choice and location.

Some customers faced issues, with one struggling to scan a QR code for the voucher, and another disliking additional sign-ups. A different reviewer said they "Saved well over £100" on a central hotel stay for a Pink concert in Liverpool. For those preferring their own hotel, The Halyard Liverpool, a four-star boutique hotel a 20-minute walk from the M&S Bank Arena, offers rooms from £75 per night in December.
