The Super Duper Family Festival is turning Manchester into a giant playground this February half-term, and as part of this are the ultimate PARTY sessions taking place at the Party Zone at Aviva Studios throughout the week. Enjoy super fun, high-energy family raves hosted by The Playhouse Project, complete with play doh, bubble-making, parachute games, and face-painting.

Don’t feel like dancing? Relax in the Chill Out Zone at The Social, where you’ll find films, arts and craft workshops, mini storytelling sessions, and live performances.

Curated by The Playhouse Project, this event is brought to you by a team of Manchester-based DJs and clubbers-turned-parents who know how to throw a family-friendly party in the best way.

The Super Duper Family Festival runs from Saturday 15 to Tuesday 18 February, transforming the city’s public spaces, squares, and venues into vibrant Play Zones packed with games, dancing, crafts, performances, and more.

Theatre in Manchester and the North
Theatre in the North

This season’s theatre is gloriously eclectic: from radical cabaret and reinvented classics to new musicals and boundary-pushing performance.

Cinema in the North

This month we recommend a season of Film noir, cult Australian movies and a huge celebration of DIY community cinema.

Exhibitions in the North

Galleries around the North are gearing up for a new season of exhibitions - from iconic art prizes to smaller, artist-led gems.

Music in the North

From corrupted shoegaze to experimental electronica, post-hardcore to Indian classical, these are the shows that should be on your radar.
