Food market Grub ‘heartbroken’ after month-long festival event cancelled

Manchester street food market Grub has said it’s ‘absolutely gutted’ after the cancellation of a month of planned food and culture events due to happen next month. ‘Grub & Friends’ was set to take place all through April at the Kampus development.

It comprised street food events, theatre performances, bottomless brunches, arts workshops and other parties, running right up to the Bank Holiday weekend. However, it’s now revealed that the event won’t be happening.

“We are heartbroken to announce that our one month takeover at Kampus has been cancelled by the landlords there,” said Grub boss Jason Bailey. “To be clear this news came months after it was agreed in writing, weeks after the entire programme was signed off, days after it was announced publicly and hours after we signed our contract.
