Sun, sea and Sankeys summer beach party

The British summer has yet again been rubbish but those in need of some sun, sea and a bit of the other should head down to the Sankeys beach party this weekend.

On Saturday (August 23rd), grey old Manchester will be transformed into an oasis of sun and light as D Ramirez heads up the Beach of the Ancoat Party at the legendary venue.

The bank holiday weekend is often the traditional end of summer and partygoers will be able to dance the night away, with OD Muzique and Oliver Lang spinning the tunes, with more than a touch of the Ibizan feel.

Then, the extra long weekend continues at Sankeys with the In Bed with Space Ibiza world tour hitting Manchester, with Ralph Lawson, Serge Santiago and Paulo bringing the Balearic beats to the north-west.

Tickets for all of Sankeys' nights are available from Skiddle.
