There has never been a finer time to eat out in Manchester than now due to restaurants and eateries popping up everywhere, and there is certainly no shortage of food and drink festivals around the city. It’s a region that has always offered many local specialities, from currant cake to the Lancashire hot pot, but you also have the opportunity to taste food and drink from all over the globe at these extraordinary events.
The Manchester Food and Drink Festival, a nationally acclaimed event and has been running for 20 years now. The vast amount of stalls and exhibitions take up a large amount of the centre, and in the past, they have welcomed guests such as Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsay.
You can also expect plenty of impressive alcohol festivals such as the Whiskey festival that has progressively grown in popularity each year; it’s an absolute must for any Whiskey fanatic. You are able to taste homegrown Whiskies from all over Scotland, as well as a selection from all over the world.
Manchester will certainly impress you not only with these festivals but also with its Beer and Cider, Bolton Food and Drink Festival and more.
The only issue is to decide which festivals that you’re going to attend!
