he Manchester Picnic is back for the fifth year.
With over 25,000 visitors in 2013, the much-loved family food festival in Piccadilly Gardens will host a variety of gourmet pop-up picnic traders, alongside live music, games and entertainment.
The Manchester Picnic has become a firm highlight of the city centre summer calendar. This year’s theme is 'Play’ to celebrate the recent opening of the new children’s playground near the Victoria Memorial in Piccadilly Gardens.
Serving up a range of food from around the world from 12pm-7pm each day will be local Indian organic street food vendors Chaat Cart, award-winning homemade ice-cream purveyor Ginger’s Comfort Emporium, wood-fired artisan pizzas Fire and Slice and Piggy Smalls which will be cooking up a storm with gourmet hotdogs, to name a few.
The popular children’s teddy bear’s picnic will be returning on Sunday 31st, alongside an appearance by Baby Ballet’s Twinkle the Bear and The Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre.
