Celebrations: 5th February

Manchester has become a hub for Chinese New Year in Britain, as it boasts the 3rd largest Chinese population in the country, and the airport is no different. On the 5th of February, we’ll be hosting a series of exciting oriental festivities throughout the airport and we’d like to invite all guests to take part:
