Food and drink festival confirmed for May Bank Holiday at Mayfield Depot
An outdoor food and drink festival has been confirmed for the second May bank holiday in 2021 – with some of Manchester’s top chefs whipping up recipes just for the occasion.
Kantina Weekender – created by the team behind Escape to Freight Island – is a weekend-long celebration of the city’s greatest restaurants and breweries, set to take place from May 28 – May 31.
In attendance will be Sam Buckley from Stockport’s famous eatery Where The Light Gets In, along with Gary Usher from Elite Bistros, Mary-Ellen McTague of The Creameries, and Simon Martin from Manchester’s first Michelin Star-winning restaurant Mana.
The charity partner for Kantina Weekender will be Eat Well Mcr – a Manchester collective of hospitality professionals and volunteers delivering meals to local people facing challenging circumstances.
The three-day festival will be held at Mayfield Depot – with organisers opening up exclusive slots for families.
Organisers stated: “The food and drink festival will be jam-packed for the kids as it is for the grown-up guests.
“Expect incredible dishes for the little ones, alongside children’s films and activity packs to keep them occupied whilst you tuck into your feast and a very well-deserved glass of wine.”
Family slots are extremely limited, available from Friday 28 May to Monday 31 May, from 12pm to 4pm each day.
The price for adults is £35 per person. Tickets for Under 12s will cost £10. Unders 2s can enter for free.
All tickets are fully redeemable and can be used as credit to spend at Kantina Weekender.
