Ravers rejoice! A fun-filled Easter celebration is coming to Manchester this April. Enjoy a fun-packed family knees-up this Good Friday (18th April) at Our Kids Social’s Good Fridaze Family Social at Freight Island, packed with fun, music, and all sorts of exciting activities.

The main event is definitely dancing, so grab your dancing shoes and some comfy clothes and dance the day away with DJ Helen from the incredible Queens of Disco. She’ll be spinning the best tunes in the ticket hall, playing songs we all know and love – parents included! Expect a lively atmosphere with bubbles and the fabulously foamy foam machine. 

Tired of all that dancing? It’s time to get creative with tables full of Easter-themed arts and crafts, and take part in a mystery Easter egg hunt, where a very special guest, the Cequin Circus Bunny, will also be making an appearance. Don’t forget to bring your snazzy Easter bonnet, as there’ll also be a spectacular parade, and prizes for the best ones!

The fun doesn’t stop there! Also in the ticket hall, you’ll find entertainment for all ages with the Conker Crew and Hula Hula Fun, Bricklands Lego, Adventure Babies Sensory Play and Glitter face painting.

Take the fun to the next level (get it?) on the mezzanine level, where you’ll find an awesome toe-tapping silent disco. You can choose from two channels to choose from, and you’ll also find fun props to play with, as well as, of course, an electric atmosphere!

Hungry? Delicious food vendors and fully stocked bars are available to keep everyone energised and well-fed throughout the day.
