Come rain or shine, we’re looking ahead to the school summer holidays. Let’s take a look at what’s on in Manchester during July.

Head into Manchester city centre with the family and enjoy a great day out. Thanks to places like the Science and Industry Museum, the National Football Museum and many other galleries and museums, learning can be tonnes of fun. Family days out needn’t break the bank either, check out our listings of free things to do in Manchester.

Closer to home, take a look at some of the activities taking place at your local community centre or library. With the school holidays speeding towards us – preparation is key. Cast your eyes over some of the activity suggestions for families in our Summer Holiday guide.
