Open air in Manchester

14 upcoming events

Get open air in Manchester in your weekly roundup.

The second the sun comes out, the party heads outside. Open airs in Manchester are the DJ sets on the riverbanks, the waterside guinguettes, the rooftops and the open-air warm-ups before you slip off to a club.

We gather every outdoor date here: electro, disco, afro or a good old-fashioned village dance. Weather permitting, this is where it's at.
