Manchester’s Business Improvement District returns with the UK’s biggest Halloween celebration.
Halloween in the City, a family-friendly festival, welcomes the public to a weekend of frightful fun in the run-up to Halloween. The festival will showcase a range of events across Manchester, including Mayfield, the Arndale Centre, Piccadilly Place, Dale Street and Manchester Albert Hall from Saturday 27th to Sunday 28th October.
What’s on?
Many more ghoulish delights, such as themed live music and DJ sets and make-up demonstrations, will also be on offer over the weekend. For more information, visit the Halloween in the City page on the Visit Manchester website.
If that isn’t enough, The Village Green will also be screening some Halloween classics over the lead-up to Halloween:
Or, if a night out is more to your taste, there’s plenty on offer for you, too:
Manchester Metropolitan University, home of the world-famous Manchester Centre for Gothic Studies, also has plenty to offer its students with an interest in all things preternatural, such as a Halloween board game event on Saturday 27th, a talk on Haunted Heritage and Literature in Salford’s famously spectral Ordsall Hall, and a showcase on research into Spiritualism and the Supernatural which is sure to send a shiver up the spine of even the most obstinate non-believer.
Whatever your idea of a perfect Halloween consists of, you’re certain not to be disappointed in Manchester this year.
