The club night where you pay with food instead of buying a ticket is back

A charity club night where you pay in with donated food instead of a ticket is happening next weekend. Food 4 Thought will be taking up residence at Six Trees in Trafford Park for a one-day festival on June 3.

Organised by the people behind the long-running Manchester party Hit & Run, you can turn up and ‘pay’ in non-perishables. So that’s anything from tins of beans to pot noodles to toiletries and toothpaste.

The goods are then collected on the same day, taken to the Salford Foodbank and then will be distributed across the city. Last year, the event collected over 700kg of food and nearly £5000 for good causes.
