The Deansgate Mews Festival makes a welcome return with 3 days of live music, food, drink and stalls – and free entry!
Located on Deansgate Mews, Manchester’s hidden pedestrianised street nestled above Deansgate, the festival will take place from 23rd – 25th May.
Expect a lively outdoor celebration of food & drink, entertainment, live music and a pop up market of talented local traders
Sponsored by Manchester’s AO Arena, Mews Fest is a celebration of authentic grassroots music venues housed at the iconic Great Northern Warehouse. The festival will host 40+ talented artists and creatives across four stages curated by live music venue Lion’s Den, production studio Manchester One Media, venue, bar, recording studio and online music platform Low Four and neighbourhood venue The Mews Bar.
On the main outside stage, Lion’s Den will host a showcase of the finest up-and-coming Manchester bands and live music artists. Inside, Low Four will welcome music lovers to discover new experimental sounds, DJ sets, live performances and much more. Manchester One Media will host DJ talents playing into the evening, and Mews Bar will host a mix of acoustic sets. Artists performing Mews Fest this year include indie rock band Strawberry Lemonade, rock band Delights, plus many more. The AO Arena’s funding ensures all acts are paid to play over the weekend. Artists performing will also be offered opportunities to sell their merchandise over the weekend.
Along Deansgate Mews, local restaurants and bars will have outdoor seating for visitors to enjoy al fresco drinking and dining all weekend. Enjoy the finest wines, cocktails and sharing plates from The Mews, book in with Another Hand, or dine out on impressive Thai dishes at Siam Smiles.
Added to the mix will be the Mini Mews Festival in the atrium with Little Northerners meaning families wanting to enjoy the music will also be able to entertain their children while they visit.
And in true Mancunian spirit, Great Northern Warehouse will be collecting donations for Forever Manchester, the only charity that supports community groups and activity across Greater Manchester.
