Things to do for Young People in Manchester

Whether you’re a new hobby, sports club or afterschool activity, we’ve got them (and you) covered. From Thai boxing to music lessons, and from den-building to cookery – there’s something for everyone.

Some events are term-time only, with others running throughout the year. There are drop-in sessions and others that need to be booked.

And, if you’re looking for things to do at the end of term – our School Holiday guide is also bursting with brilliant ideas.
