Escape To Freight Island will be reopening this weekend, following its month-long shut down after Christmas. The reopening kicks off with the annual Art Battle event this Friday (January 28), in which 10 local artists will take part in a live, on-stage ‘paint off’.

Artworks created on the night will then be auctioned off, with the proceeds this year going to Mary-Ellen McTague’s non-profit Eat Well MCR, which provides meals for those suffering food poverty in the city.

There will then be DJs playing through the weekend, among them Manchester institutions like The Unabombers, Supernature Disco, Dave Haslam, DJ Paulette and Clint Boon.

Also among the attractions will be free performances from live bands every Wednesday, including The Untold Orchestra, Mali Hayes and Tom Seals.
