Manchester Food and Drink Festival

Hitting the city's streets, restaurants and pubs for an eleventh year, the Manchester Food and Drink Festival is back. And it's hungrier and thirstier than ever, promising to satisfy everyone's indulgent needs.

The event takes place between the 3rd and 13th October, and will feature celebrity chefs, demonstrations, and more good food than you can shake a spatula at. Restaurants, bars and pubs will also get in on the act, offering innovative cooking and culinary demos throughout.

Despite having an acronym that sounds like the bastard son of a Class A drug and a type of wood, the MFDF will undoubtedly be a tasty and gluttonous ten days.
