The busiest months for festivals here are July, August, October and December, counting each month an event runs in. Months for listings without confirmed dates come from the organiser's usual timing, so treat them as a guide.

What our Manchester guide says about those seasons:

Summer (June to August)

Das beste Wetter für Drinks und Spaziergänge am Kanal in Castlefield und Salford Quays. Beliebte Restaurants sollten Sie vorab reservieren.

Autumn (September to November)

Ruhigere Straßen und ein volles Programm in Theatern, Konzertsälen und Musikclubs.

Winter (December to February)

Kurze Tage, doch in der Vorweihnachtszeit finden in der Innenstadt Weihnachtsmärkte statt. Der Manchester City Council veröffentlicht die Termine jedes Jahr.
