As we say goodbye to June and enter the month of July and all the back-garden barbecues, staycations and Pimms o’clocks galore that naturally come with it – you’ll be happy to know there are plenty of cracking things to do in the city that won’t cost you a thing.
From a full-day affair over in the suburbs for the Didsbury Arts Fest to a proper good art exhibition at KAMPUS – we’ve most definitely got you covered for the best free things to do in Manchester this week. Check it out:
Swing by the über cool KAMPUS gardens this Wednesday for the public launch of Our Proud Past – a photography exhibition celebrating the past, present and future of Manchester’s LGBT+ Centre.
This is a great opportunity to check out a slice of the city’s history and learn a little about snapshots of Manchester’s not-so-distant past while celebrating Pride month in one of the buzziest venues in town.
Start the weekend with a chiller over at Platt Fields Market Garden in Fallowfield for a pay-as-you-feel yoga class on the grass outdoors led by Chelsey, a qualified and insured instructor.
Take some time to slow it right down, stretch those limbs and soak in the rays all in the beautiful vistas of Fallowfield’s gem of a community park.
Rock up to Manchester Museum this Saturday for an evening takeover celebrating global majority and South Asian diaspora with a bunch of mega-talented DJs and artists as part of this year’s Manchester International Festival.
Presented by SEEN Magazine, this event seeks to show just how immeasurable the South Asian diaspora impacts on the UK music scene and wider culture while shining a light on the incredible artists making waves today.
In the mood for a wholesome Sunday? Look no further than Didsbury Arts Festival for a full-day affair with something for every member of the family in mind.
Complete with immersive art, food stalls, Didsbury Superstar, salsa dancing with La Suetre, circus workshops with the Circus House, performances from Didsbury Theatre School, traditional Persian drummers, facepainting and live DJ sets to soundtrack the entire afternoon – what’s not to love?
