We near the end of July, you’ll be chuffed to know there are still bucketloads of things to get involved in around the city that won’t set you back a thing.
From free roller rink pop-up parties in Cathedral Gardens to live original Reggae/Dancehall full-evening affairs at Band on the Wall – here’s our rundown for the best free things to do in Manchester this week…
Starbucks is putting on a three-day roller rink pop-up experience in Cathedral Gardens this weekend.
For free, you can hire a pair of skates and choose from either a Caramel Frappuccino or the Melon Pearl Starbucks Refresha with the whole thing soundtracked by live DJ sets spinning non-stop summer anthems.
A £5 ticket fee applies as a refundable deposit and will be returned upon arrival.
Looking for a cheap Friday night out to start your weekend with a bang?
Look no further than Band on the Wall’s weekly La Fiesta soirée where you can catch the local E&I Collective who specialise in live original Reggae/Dancehall music, and engaging and energetic performances.
This Saturday night, Jacques Greene will be returning to Manchester for the first time in over five years to play an up-close-and-personal set in the newly-opened CUPRA City Garage in Deansgate.
Expect all the best dance and electronic music that’ll be sure to keep you bumping throughout the eve.
Finish your week over in Salford’s Cult & Coffee Listening Cafe as Manchester OGs Off-Vision are set to bring their Residents to the ever-buzzing space.
Selections will be on point with vibes and energy to match.
