GET ready for the slide of your life on this 300ft whopper.

Slide The City has already proved a massive hit across US cities

Manchester will become of few UK cities to welcome 'the biggest water party of the summer' as the Slide The City UK tour hits Heaton Park's Farm Centre on Saturday July 18.

The tour will also visit Liverpool, London, Cardiff, Dublin, Bristol, Edinburgh - see all the UK dates here.

Slide The City - which has already proved a massive hit across US cities - will charge punters £10 a pop (or £20 for three goes) to launch themselves along the slippery surface on an inflatable tube.

Organisers say the main event will be accompanied by music, dancing, food, drink and some 'swag for sale'.

Everyone is welcome to ride the slide - though you must be at least five years of age or 116cm tall.

You can join the mailing list here to be the first to hear about tickets. But be warned: tens of thousands signed up for the previous event in Bristol, only a few hundred got tickets.
