The Thank You Manchester Weekender will take place on Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 August, 1-6pm in the City centre (Piccadilly, Cathedral Gardens, St Ann’s Square, Exchange Square and surrounding streets), and is free to attend.

We’re putting on a weekend of fabulous entertainment on the streets and in the squares of the city this summer. It’s the Manchester way of making a joyful tribute to all those we want to thank for helping us get through the past year and a half.  

As Manchester continues to welcome everyone back to its restaurants, galleries, shops, museums and more, there’ll be street theatre, music, colour and dancing popping up all around the city centre to add to the fun.

We know everyone has their own special way to say thank you. We welcome the opportunity to work with Manchester organisations, community groups and businesses on this unique day of celebration.
