Manchester’s most iconic festive figure is back. The Giant Santa designed by Blachere Illumination has returned to St Peter’s Square, bringing sparkle, scale, and sustainability to the heart of the city’s Christmas celebrations. This LED-lit installation is a central feature of Manchester’s Christmas lights and one of the most photographed symbols of the season.
