Kinōra is bringing an all-day open-air music experience to Manchester's city centre this May, and the best part? It's completely free. This is your chance to catch live music in the heart of the city without breaking the bank, making it perfect for a lazy Sunday afternoon with mates or a family day out. Whether you're into indie, electronic, or whatever Kinōra's lineup throws at you, this is a proper Manchester moment you won't want to miss.
The Britons Protection is an absolute gem tucked away in the city centre, known for its welcoming vibe and brilliant selection of cask ales and spirits. It's a proper local's pub with real character, and hosting an open-air event like this shows exactly why it's beloved by Mancunians. The venue's central location means you're surrounded by the buzz of the city whilst still feeling like you've stumbled onto something special and intimate.
Getting there couldn't be easier – it's right in the heart of Manchester, so jump on any tram heading into town or take a short walk from Piccadilly or Oxford Road if you're local. Doors open at noon on Sunday 24 May, so arrive early to bag a decent spot, grab a drink, and settle in for the full day. Bring a mate, bring the family, or come solo – this is the kind of free, community-focused event that makes Manchester's music scene what it is.
