wholesome family stroll, check out some live music, or peruse the city’s
delightful local markets, here’s our guide to the best things to do this May
bank holiday right here in Manchester – especially useful for the days that the

Come and visit us at West Didsbury Makers Market
We’ll have our very own stall at the
West Didsbury market this Sunday, so make sure you drop by and say hello to our
lovely team. Even if the weather brings some rain, we’ll be sure to bring a bit
of Creamline sunshine to your day!
The event will take place at Withington
Hospital Car Park, M20 2LR, and will run from 11am to 4pm.
Explore the city’s vibrant music scene at Manchester Jazz Festival
First starting in the summer of 1996,
Manchester’s longest running annual festival has grown to feature hundreds of
musicians across a wide variety of events every year.
There are plenty of shows to get
involved in for the festival’s closing weekend – with a mixture of free and
ticketed options – so make sure to come along and get a taste of Manchester’s
world-famous music scene.
Why not treat yourself to our delicious breakfast range to start the day – it’s just as delicious indoors as it is outside, so there’s
no need to worry about the Manchester weather dampening your spirits!
Foodie heaven at Bury Food and Drink Festival
Looking for some more market fun this
weekend? Bury Food and Drink Festival should absolutely be on your radar!
Just a short trip out of the city, this
festival is known for its eclectic selection of artisanal food and drink,
market and crafts stalls, live music and entertainment.
The festival will take place all over
Bury Town Centre from May 23 to 25.
Take a step back and marvel at The Manchester Flower Festival
The Manchester Flower Festival is back
in full bloom this late May bank holiday weekend - and it's sure to bring a
shedload of vibrant colour to the city!
From May 24 to 27, visitors can enjoy
an array of beautiful flowers and greenery all over the city center of
Manchester. Places like Exchange Square, New Cathedral Street, St Ann’s Square,
King Street, and Manchester Arndale will all be getting in the botanical
spirit!
Take a stroll along Castlefield Viaduct
This Victorian-era steel viaduct has
been transformed into a temporary green ‘sky garden’, right in the heart of
