This is great every year and looks to be even better this year, a lot of brilliant bars & restaurants involved many of which are pretty hidden away & are not very well known unless you know Manchester well.
I would suggest downloading the brochure because there is a lot on or just look through the calendar on the website.
A few highlights for me:
