A little festive fun, a chance to get moving and plenty of reasons to smile! ⛸️
Skate Manchester is returning to Cathedral Gardens from 6 November to 3 January, giving families, friends and visitors another opportunity to enjoy being active together in the heart of the city.
At MCRactive, we're keen to celebrate opportunities that make movement enjoyable and bring people together.
Physical activity doesn't always have to look like traditional sport. Sometimes it's about trying something different, sharing a laugh and making memories along the way.
We can't wait to see Cathedral Gardens transformed into a festive skating destination!

Looking for something FREE to do with the kids this half term?
How about a trip to the pool? 🏊♀️
Manchester residents aged 16 and under can enjoy FREE swimming during designated Swim for All sessions throughout the school holidays!
It's a great way to get the kids moving, burn off some energy and have fun together. Even better, there are participating pools across Manchester, so you won't have to travel far to make a splash.
