I’m sure many of us are feeling the post-Bank holiday blues, alongside our wallets, so we’ve got you sorted and rounded up the best things to do around the city that’ll help you save those pennies.
From Mediterranean-themed community parties over in Salford to a banging open decks party in the heart of the Northern Quarter – here’s our rundown for the best free things to do in Manchester this week…
If you simply can’t wait until Friday to start your weekend motives then why not check out The Beagle nestled in the heart of Chorlton for their famous pub quiz hosted by Nanny Banton.
Test yourselves with five rounds of general knowledge, current affairs and music with the top prize being a cushty £100 Nell’s voucher.
Bring on the weekend with Not Bad For A Girl’s open decks party over at Band on the Wall.
Hosted by the cracking collective of female, non-binary and trans DJs based in Manchester and London who always bring 100% energy to every set.
To celebrate their 4th birthday, Not Bad for a Girl is inviting DJs who have little to no experience playing out live to take part in their open-deck event and spin some bangers.
Open to female, non-binary and trans participants only.
The People’s History Museum is putting on a fantastic cut-and-paste ‘make your own manifesto’ session all about saying what you feel about water and its place in your life.
The free and friendly session is part of PeopleFest, a festival from the Association of Social Anthropologists that seeks to encourage playfulness and creative thought.
So go along, cut up some magazines, add in your own art and leave with a lovely little folded book or small poster.
If you’re looking for a spot to spend your entire Saturday afternoon through to the evening then look no further than Kargo MKT in MediaCity for their second session of Sounds of Kargo.
This Mediterranean-themed event will bring together good music, good drinks and good people so round up a posse and get yourself down to Salford to celebrate culture, community and wholesome times.
