Wicked Wicketz at MediaCity and Salford Quays, Manchester, 11 September 2022, free entry - Visit now
Feeling inspired by Freddie Flintoff and friends? See if you can hit the Wicketz with The Lancashire Cricket Foundation Inflatable Bowling Cage, down at We Invented The Weekend Festival this September.
And sports fanatic have plenty more to go at during the weekend. The festival sees the revival of Quay Culture’s Colour Swim – a unique fusion of open water swimming, live Samba music and dancing. And if you want to get out on the water without getting (too) wet, try out a katakanu courtesy of Salford Watersports Centre.
If staying on dry land is more your thing, join in with the hugely successful football sessions from Manchester United Foundations’ Street Reds, or learn some skateboarding skills with Northern Rolling.
