We Invented the Weekend is a two-day FREE festival which throws open MediaCity and Salford Quays’ spaces and places, to celebrate the joy of free time, taking in sports, music, comedy, theatre, dance, workshops, talks, food, charity, wellness, crafts and more.

We will have a high profile pitch in the charity retail open-air market in the heart of Media City, outside the BBC. Both days will be from 10am - 6pm.

Come and join us for a chat, activities and some bargain hunting to brighten up your home or wardrobe! There will also be water sports on the canal, live music and dance performances, to getting your hands dirty with planting workshops and finding gems at vintage markets, festival-goers meet new people, try new things and make memories together!
