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)

La meilleure saison pour boire un verre au bord des canaux et se promener à Castlefield et Salford Quays. Réservez à l'avance les restaurants très prisés.

Autumn (September to November)

Des rues plus calmes, et une programmation riche dans les théâtres, les salles de concert et les lieux de musique.

Winter (December to February)

Journées courtes, mais le centre-ville accueille des marchés de Noël avant les fêtes. Le conseil municipal de Manchester publie les dates chaque année.
