Family things to do in Manchester and the North
Shekina Rose, Families EditorGet ready for a fun-packed April, with a whole host of events and activities for families to enjoy. The weather is never straight-forward up north, so we’ve pulled together our top picks of indoor and outdoor activities in this month’s Families Guide, from children’s theatre to creative and interactive adventures.
Theatre fans won’t be disappointed, with the fin-tabulous Shark in the Park at The Dukes and Grooving with Pirates at Z-arts for the more musically minded, and moving into June, get ready for a seriously roar-some adventure at Jurassic Earth in Halifax, also roaming to venues across the UK.
Events further ahead include 42 Balloons at The Lowry, the Manchester Histories Festival 2024, the 100 Story Hotel at Z-arts, Awful Auntie at the Manchester Opera House, Bluey’s Big Play and Charlie Cook’s Favourite Book at The Lowry, Batteries Not Included at the National Football Museum and TOTFest Cheshire.
