ORGANISERS claim the Manchester Show next weekend will be one of the biggest outdoor events ever staged in the region.

More than 100 acres of Heaton Park at Prestwich will be transformed into a fun-filled, action-packed jamboree, featuring some of Europe's finest live acts over two days - Saturday, September 28, and Sunday, 29.

Attractions include everyone's favourite bad boy - Wolf from The Gladiators, the Rocket Monster Truck, a Fireball stunt bike team, a classic car rally, the Key103 Roadshow, a 10 acre fun fair, bouncy castles, trampolines, go-karts, theatre, clowns, jugglers, magicians, puppeteers and much more.

The fun kicks off each day at 9am and goes on until 6pm.

The event will be RAC signposted from Manchester city centre and the M62 motorway.
