Grub Food Fair at Mayfield Depot
Not only is GRUB Food Fair opening in Mayfield Depot on Fri 9 June, taking care of Manchester’s street food and brewtap needs every Friday and Saturday, they’ve got a trick up their sleeve for Sundays to round off the weekend. From Sun 11 June, they will be holding Plant Powered Sunday, a weekly vegan event serving food, drink and running green-inspired activities in collaboration with local gardening groups. It’d be best just to block off that whole weekend to cover all bases.
Opens Fri 9 Jun then every Sunday from 11 Jun, Mayfield Depot, Fairfield Street, Manchester, M1 2QF @GRUBMCR
