After the frivolities of Valentine’s Day, I’m sure many of us are needing to give our wallets a break this week.
So, to help you out in the cashola department, we’ve rounded up a handful of the best things to do in and around Manchester this week that won’t cost you a thing.
From vintage pop-ups over at Ducie Street Warehouse through to writing workshops at Altogether Otherwise – here’s our rundown of the five best free things to do in Manchester this week…
Start the weekend off right at the almighty MOT garage at Ramona to check out a handpicked selection of bright local talent for a night of pure energy.
Making her debut behind the decks, AMA.G will be diving deep into percussive grooves and amapiano flavours.
Next up will be d-foc — one of the North West’s finest selectors. A Blackpool native with an unmatched ear, his selections cut deep, proving why he’s one of a generation.
Closing things out, Donsurf and Kusasa go head-to-head for a B2B session built on soulful foundations. Broken beat, garage, bouncy house, and the kind of obscure numbers that’ll become your new dancefloor obsessions.
Pop into Stevenson Square hotspot, Public, this Friday for a full evening affair filled with the best Trance and Guaracha music.
The bill is looking properly juicy with the likes of Akamwave, blo rida, Celius, Pearlz, Phlossiee, station44 and Twin Complex all taking to the decks to deliver a good groove session into the early hours.
If you’re a vintage lover, head down to Ducie Street Warehouse this weekend to check out Lockup Vintage’s pop-up shop.
The Y2K and 90s fashion purveyors are putting on their biggest sale yet, discounting our entire stock selection and have under £5 & £10 rails to shop too if you fancy a cheeky bargain.
If you’re in need of a right old boogie this weekend, look no further than Band on the Wall’s La Fiesta – a free-to-dance global music night featuring Afrobeat, Reggae, Latin, and Jazz with live band.
This week, singer, and songwriter Sahala joins forces with DJ Trees.R.Good to bring a selection of tunes that shaped their childhood, cultural background and musical inspirations.

Swing by NOMA’s Altogether Otherwise this Wednesday for a lovely writing group where attendees can read out loud from their writing practice – prose, poetry, essay, memoir and everything in between – to a group of closely listening fellow dabblers, in an informal, friendly and supportive environment.
