About this event
Abundance Festival is a down-to-earth celebration of community, craft and good food. Drop in for a couple of hours or stay all day - try a quick workshop, sample juice from rescued fruit, listen to local artists, and meet the groups making Manchester greener and kinder.
Abundance isn’t just a festival; it’s a year-round community. We run free, friendly sessions - like willow weaving, open discussions and cooking lessons with surplus fruit - and weekly fruit-rescue picks where we collect spare fruit from local gardens and share it with the community. If you’ve been looking for a way to meet people and do something useful (without spending loads), this is for you.
