Summer means festival season but instead of enduring the knee-deep mud and no showers for days, Mancs can enjoy the festival vibes from the heart of the city instead this year. Pizza purveyors Nell’s presents Kampus Fest, a free weekend music celebration at Kampus garden neighbourhood in Manchester.
Kampus Fest is a city centre weekender now in its third year, taking place from Friday 27th−Sunday 29th June. Featuring the Untold Orchestra, a Glastonbury livestream, pop-up markets, Born to be Wild Child, family fun activities and a special guest (spoiler, it’s the Manchester weather), the festival is set to be another huge success, full of colour, love and good times.
