A special 'love festival' filled with music, poetry and picture-perfect spots for romantic proposals and insta selfies is being planned in the centre of Manchester for Valentine's Day. The free event will run across four days in February including Valentine's Day itself on February 14 at Spinningfields.
The "With love, Spinningfields x" event is being described as "the ultimate Valentine's Day experience" and will run in the day on 10th, 11th, 13th and 14th February 2023 around Hardman Square. Organisers say it's open to everyone, not just couples, and that it is as much for "Gals and the Pals as it is for the Vals".
It will bring a huge neon sign to illuminate the area with a well known mix of five words that will "mean something different to everyone and provide the perfect picture backdrop", alongside some of the area’s other permanent light installations. Bosses of the business district say the lights will all be turning a lovely shade of red for the occasion too.
