‘Up North’ Photo Portrait Project
Ongoing
Get creative in North Manchester this summer with our guide to free or low-cost, family-friendly activities. We’ve even included a few city-centre events that might catch your eye.
We’ll keep adding more events as the details become available – so head out, enjoy the sunshine (or dodge the rain), and have a brilliant creative summer.
