WE'VE just been given details of a series of free entry Bank Holiday music festivals taking place in the city centre this spring and summer.
SpinFest is three family-friendly festivals hosted by The Oast House in Spinningfields.
The first is an American Vintage-inspired celebration on Sunday 6 and Monday 7 May. This will be followed by a Best of British Jubilee celebration on 3 and 4 June, and a Beer and Blues festival on 26 and 27 August.
The American Vintage festival promises smooth sounds from the USA with live acts performing soul, jazz, swing, jive, and classic pop. There'll be kids activities to keep the little ones amused, and a range of al fresco foodie delights from The Oast House.
As well as their usual delicious BBQ menu, there'll be a hog roast plus a huge selection of beers and drinks from around the world, including cider from the festival sponsors Kopparberg.
It has the makings of a fantastic day out for the May Bank Holiday – live music, great food and drink, and a friendly atmosphere. See you there.
