Away from the festival hub, an array of activities will be taking place across Manchester city centre. On the 16th and 17th September, New Century will be taken over by some of the region’s most exciting wine retailers and brands as the MFDF Wine and Fizz Festival comes to town. Confirmed retailers include Cork of the North , Prestwich’s Grape to Grain and UKiYO Republic who will be showcasing their wonderful range of Japanese sake.
