Summer in Salford

School’s out! ☀️

Looking for ideas to keep everyone entertained over the summer holidays?

From free family days out and rainy day activities to places to get outdoors, what’s on and great food and drink spots, there’s plenty to see, do and discover across Salford this summer.

And with Salford celebrating 100 years of city status in 2026, there are even more events, exhibitions and activities to discover as part of Salford 100.

Keep the summer inspo coming. We’ll be sharing a new #SummerInSalford inspo list every week throughout the school holidays.
