Our Year – Activities for Children and Young People in Manchester

The coronavirus pandemic has caused great disruption to many of our lives. It has also been an especially difficult time for our children and young people.

Throughout the pandemic our children and young people have shown amazing strength and determination. Now, we think that it is time to celebrate the achievements and resilience of our young people. To show them how proud we are of them and also to support them to achieve even more.

Working with our partners across the city, we’re dedicating 2022 to our children and young people. ‘Our Year’ is an exciting year-long programme of activities, events, opportunities and experiences for children and young people living in Manchester.

Making up for the time they’ve spent in lockdown and away from school, their hobbies and their friends, 2022 marks a well deserved year of opportunity for Manchester’s children and young people.

Read on to find out more about some of the fantastic events happening across our city over the next year. Also, for more events taking place in the May half-term, be sure to take a look at our School Holidays guide – you’ll find a range of activities for families and young people to enjoy.
