Move over Coca-Cola, there's a new big red bus on the scene; the Yankee Candle Express is coming to Manchester this November, where visitors can soak up seasonal scents like cinnamon, roasted chestnuts, and pine trees. You'll find the bus stationed at Piccadilly Gardens from 29 November to 1 December, coinciding with the Manchester Christmas Markets' Winter Gardens.

Step aboard the bus and enjoy a cosy, enchanting atmosphere inspired by Yankee Candle's latest festive TV ad. Inside, you'll find a photobooth, comfy armchairs, and complimentary hot chocolate and Christmas cookies. You'll get the opportunity to participate in competitions for Yankee Candle prizes and take home complimentary gift bags filled with festive fragrances.

This stop is part of a UK-wide tour, following earlier visits to King's Cross in London, Birmingham's Bullring, and Bristol's Cabot Circus. The bus will also be heading to West Thurrock and Kent.

The Yankee Candle Express will be at Manchester's Piccadilly Gardens on the following dates and times:

  • Friday, 29 November: 12pm to 8pm
