The annual Manchester Canal Festival takes place in the heart of the city this weekend, Saturday and Sunday. Head to the Rochdale Canal in Piccadilly Basin by the Northern Quarter and Brownsfield Mill- entrance on Port St - for great food from Kosmonaut and TAKK, activities for all the family (kids in the afternoons from 2.00-6.00 p.m.), music, art and even a float-in movie (Finding Nemo at 6.00 p.m. on Saturday and Life of Pi at at 8.00 p.m. on Sunday).
Local street artists and illustrators include Emma Reynolds, Barney Ibbotson and Rose Whittingham who will be creating new work at the festival. There's also an after hours party at 2022NQ on the Saturday. Read the festival flyer.
