Although July hasn’t quite matched June for sunny weather just yet, it’s fair to say summer is well and truly in full swing. With the school holidays just around the corner, there’s a sense of celebration in the air.
There are lots of events taking place in and around Greater Manchester in the coming weeks to ensure that those long summer days stay packed and busy. Naturally this time of year means festival season and even though Glastonbury is swiftly becoming a distant memory, there’s still a chance to catch some live music at a festival, either in the city or nearby.
For those looking to soak up some culture for free, then Manchester International Festival is certainly worth checking out, especially the free events held in Festival Square. If the weather does let us down (let’s face it, Manchester is known for its rain so no doubt there’ll be some disappointing days) you can still head to the beach right here in the city as Backyard Cinema launches its Miami beach-themed pop-up cinema at the Depot Mayfield.
