A huge free family festival is coming to MediaCity this weekend featuring Hey Duggee, Hacker T Dog and more. We Invented The Weekend runs this Saturday and Sunday, September 10 and 11, bringing a whole host of workshops and activities to Salford Quays.
There'll be a CBeebies Bedtime Stories live event, with the likes of presenters Rhys Stephenson, Katie Thistleton and Hacker T Dog reading stories.
Little ones will be able to join a Hey Duggee Story Trail, collecting a map from the Reading Lawn at MediaCity and spotting the Salford Literacy Trail book benches one last time before they are auctioned off, and can also take part in a Hey Duggee disco, which will take place in between story sessions.
