If you blew the bank a tad during the long weekend, not to worry, as we’ve rounded up some of the best things happening in the city this week that won’t set you back a thing.
From late-night DJ sets in Stevenson Square to a free morning pilates session, here’s our rundown of the best free things to do in Manchester this week…
Dubbed ‘Manchester’s most lively living room’, Mollies’ Studio IV brings together a curated programme of local live music and DJs with Jimmy Allen taking to the decks this Thursday night.
Jimmy Allen is best known for his deep, soulful, and jazz-infused house music, making this week’s event a great way to ease into the weekend!
If you indulged a bit during the bumper Bank Holiday weekend and you need a little TLC, then this Saturday morning, instructor Dominique Binns will be hosting an hour-long floor work pilates session that’ll be sure to set you up for a good weekend ahead.
There’s a free party happening at SOUP this Saturday night – but it’s first come first served so be sure to get yourself down there early!
There will be a very special guest headliner joined by Mica as well as residents Sam Pratt & Aviax.
