Great Northern Warehouse to host free food & music festival over May bank holiday

A free, three-day festival is coming to the Great Northern Warehouse in May, complete with market stalls, food and drink and live music and entertainment. The Deansgate Mews Festival will take place Friday-Sunday on the final bank holiday in May (26-28). It will be located in the outdoor terrace area of the Great Northern.

Bar Lions Den will be hosting a pop-up stage, which will welcome over 30 performers over the three days. The other resident restaurants, including  The Mews Bar, Another Hand, Acai & the Tribe and Low Four, will also be getting involved in the event with a range of special offers.

There will also be a pop-up Gift Emporium featuring stalls from local independent businesses, where you will be able to pick up chocolate treats from Dormouse, as well as art, flowers and plants. Music collectors can also check out the Village Hall, where there will be a vinyl fair.

Festival organisers are inviting independent businesses to take part in the market. Stalls cost £15 per day, which will be donated to Forever Manchester, a charity that supports community groups across Greater Manchester. Contact [email protected] for more information.

The event is family-friendly, so visitors can also expect plenty of entertainment to keep the little ones busy. More details about performers, stalls and entertainment will be released closer to the event.
