Family things to do in the North
Shekina Rose, Families EditorWith these lighter, brighter days and warmer temperatures, it’s really starting to feel like summer here in the North West! From outdoor family fun days to book-themed treasure hunts and unusual but fabulous live theatre productions, this month’s guide is packed with activities that will keep both kids and adults entertained.
Fun (and free) days out are just the tonic if you’re looking for entertainment that the whole family can get into. Spring Up! at The Vale, Manchester Jazz Festival Family Activities, and Family Fun Day at Central Library (part of Festival of Libraries) will all be brimming with arts, crafts, music, adventure and more.
More Festival of Libraries family fun includes Festival of Libraries’ Look for a Book. Everyone should get involved with this – whether you’re a book worm, space-lover or treasure seeker!
The National Science and Media Museum presents YOU:MATTER, a spectacular immersive show combining the wonders of nature with cutting-edge technology, perfect for visitors of all ages.
Family theatre this month includes the marvellously monstrous There’s a Monster in Your Show at Lowry, and over in Leeds, Seussical Jr – the Musical at Interplay Theatre and Hayao Miyazaki’s Dreams by Mystery Ensemble are bringing live theatre performances with a twist.
Check out this guide if you’re looking for things to do over the May half-term holidays, and if you’re watching the pennies, here’s our guide for free family things to do in Manchester.
