Exchange Square

In previous years Exchange Square has been smothered by the Christmas Market. This year with the coronavirus pandemic lockdown restrictions and the area being placed in Tier 3 it is relatively quiet. There is a globe outside Selfridges SJ8398 : Globe in Exchange Square and a bee SJ8398 : Christmas Bee in Exchange Square in the middle of the square.
Exchange Square, Manchester

Exchange Square is a public space which was created after the IRA’s 1996 Manchester bombing. Today the square is a major shopping area including a branch of Selfridges, New Cathedral Street, The Triangle shopping Centre and an entrance to the Manchester Arndale, the most-visited shopping centre in the United Kingdom.

The square is served by Exchange Square Metrolink station on the Manchester Metrolink network. Construction on the new extension started in 2014 and the entire Second City Crossing scheme Link became operational in 2017.
