Manchester is brimming with lots of great events for kid of all ages this summer, plus we’ve got lots of great offers to help your money go further.

Another massive coup for the region is the recent opening of SEA LIFE at intu Trafford Centre, which is set to follow in the successful footsteps of the National Football Museum which celebrates its 1st Birthday in July with its Strike a Pose exhibition.
