King Street Festival

Manchester’s most fashionable summer event, the King Street Festival, returns this June celebrating the past, present and future of Manchester’s iconic retail destination. On Saturday 2 & Sunday 3 June, King Street will be filled with live music, alfresco dining, pop-up craft ale and prosecco bars, alongside a whole host of complimentary VIP shopping experiences.

New for 2018 are The Conversation Stage featuring Dave Haslam on his days DJing at the Hacienda, alongside history talks and food and drink tastings and the Manchester Flower Show, a popular and prestigious annual event which dates back to the 1950’s and will return as part of the festival following a 15 year hiatus.

Organisers of the King Street Festival, Manchester’s Business Improvement District, Manchester BID, will pay tribute to the original Manchester Flower Show while giving it an urban twist to complement its new location in the heart of the city centre. Visitors can expect a floral paradise of pocket gardens, green installations and hanging baskets alongside a showcase of the very best produce, cut-flowers and plants.
