There are plenty of budget-friendly things going on around the city as we head into the bumper bank holiday weekend.
From mid-week parties over at Freight Island to a nine-hour day-to-night event over at Ramona, here’s our rundown of the best free things to do in Manchester this week…
Ramona is hosting a nine-hour day-to-night party this Good Friday. Ramona regulars Good Custard will be joining forces with Harrogate-born and Ibiza-bound party collective, Funk My Life, for the upcoming all-dayer.
Swing by Diecast this Saturday for a full-evening affair brought to you by Manchester-based DJ and production duo Matt and Miles. Expect a mixture of house music, specifically focusing on deep house, US house, early UK garage influences, and ‘rave mix’ styles
Get yourselves down for a knees up this Easter Sunday at Bar Shrimp. Selectors Louie G, Ethan McNamara and Ryan Ingleby will be on the tunes, and there’ll be fried chicken sandos to help fuel you up.
