Summer in the city
This summer, Bulmers has teamed up with the Manchester Evening News to squeeze the best out of the Great British Summertime.
And now that the bank holiday weekend is here, there's plenty going on to make the most of your three-day weekend. So no matter how tempting it is to stay in bed, kick off the duvet and enjoy what's left of our Great British Summertime, whatever the weather.
The pride of Manchester
Manchester has one of the biggest and most respected Pride celebrations in Europe and this weekend is the climax of this year's event.
Take to the streets to see the annual parade, where hundreds of extravagantly-dressed floats will pass through some of the city's most famous landmarks, or why not enjoy the atmosphere from one of the many bars and restaurants on Canal Street.

Go to a gig
On Sunday three of the biggest names in music will be performing at Lancashire Country Cricket Club as Manchester holds it own mini-festival. Editors and Guillemots will be performing some of their greatest hits before living legends REM take to the stage with their own classic tunes.
Tickets are £45 and to book go to

Bird's eye view
See Manchester from a completely different angle this weekend by taking a spin on the Manchester Eye. The massive ferris wheel, which sits proudly in Exchange Square, offers amazing views across the city centre and beyond. Best of all, Exchange Square is just a few minutes from some of Manchester's trendiest bars so after your spin, why not freshen up with a Bulmers?

Culture vulture
Rain or shine, one of Manchester's best loved attractions is Urbis - the exhibition centre for city life.
With five floors of changing exhibitions, there's plenty to please visitors, whether they're first-timers or seasoned specialists. The building alone is well worth a nosey around.

Forbidden forest
Grab a picnic basket and fill it with tasty snacks, a few naughty treats and a case of Bulmers and explore Macclesfield Forest.
It's packed with wildlife galore and there are loads of hikes to enable you to work up a healthy appetite.
