August Bank Holiday Weekend Events
You’ve done the family holiday; you’ve worked your entire summer around making the kids happy – here are some things to do over the bank holiday weekend that are just for the adults!
This is the last bank holiday before Christmas and the end of the summer, so the pressure is on to have as much fun as you can, or die trying! Lots of people go away for the weekend, as their idea of fun is sitting in a cramped car for hours in a motorway traffic jam. If you have decided to stay in Manchester, there is plenty going on in the city to keep you entertained.
There is a choice of local festivals and fun that you can check in on:
Burnage Rugby Club Car Boot! Varley Park, Battersea Rd, Stockport SK4 3EA
It is the last Car Boot of the season, so make sure you go through your cupboards and get rid of all the clutter while you have the chance! Not quite a festival, but definitely good fun and The best car boot in the area! Cars £10/pitch. Opens at 6am. Find out more at:

Manchester Pride Festival: Gay Village Party – Manchester’s iconic LBGTQ event 23rd-26th August, Manchester Gay Village in Manchester.
Expect lots of fun and lots of great outfits! There is a parade and many performances, some of them even on stage! You can see some of it for free, but to be part of the whole shenanigans you must have a ticket. They are very reasonably priced, and much of the money goes to the charity. For more details visit:
