The days may be getting shorter, and the temperatures cooler, but there's plenty of things to enjoy about autumn in Greater Manchester - from walks in nature and crunching leaves under foot, to light events preparing us for the Christmas festivities ahead.
Though autumn isn’t officially underway just yet - it begins on 23 September and ends on 21 September - there’s already a number of seasonal events on the calendar, including Halloween in the City, the Manchester Science Festival and the hotly-anticipated Banksy Exhibition over at MediaCity in Salford.
There’s also plenty of food and drink events taking place, from the Wing Fest competition at the Trafford Centre, Indy Man Beer Con at Victoria Baths and the Manchester Food and Drink Festival, which is celebrating 25 years over in Cathedral Gardens. Here, you’ll find some inspiration for the autumn season ahead.
