Manchester BID Events
Manchester BID is a Business Improvement District consortium of 400 leading retailers and restaurants across the central shopping district. The BID is managed by the city centre management company CityCo.
We deliver an annual programme of public events in the heart of Manchester to add vibrancy to the streets and attract people to shop, eat, drink and enjoy all our great city has to offer.
We’re proud to have brought some of the most innovative and PR-grabbing installations to the city centre in recent years. Take a look at our Roof-Top Halloween Monsters, Halloween ‘Haunted Maze’, Chinese New Year ‘Piglet’, Chinese New Year ‘Golden Dragon’, Chinese New Year ‘Warriors’.
