For those who like to get outside on Christmas Day or Boxing Day, whether to walk off Christmas dinner or enjoy a winter stroll with the promise of a mulled wine at the end of it, Sale has a few welcoming spots that’ll be open and ready to serve.
Here are some local gems to check out if you’re planning a festive outing.
Walton Perk
Open 11am-2pm on Christmas Day and Boxing Day
If you're strolling down the Bridgewater Canal, Walton Perk makes the perfect stop for a treat and some festive cheer. Sale’s friendliest narrowboat will be open on both Christmas Day and Boxing Day for the first time ever this year! Plus, throughout December they are raising much-needed funds for ‘Don’t Walk Past Manchester’, who provide food and clothing for Manchester’s homeless.
With Walton Park adjacent, it’s a great spot to stretch your legs, grab a drink and enjoy the Christmas atmosphere by the water. Tell them Life in Sale sent you!
