THIS spring, Manchester city centre will once again be transformed into a floral paradise as a much-loved annual festival returns.

Filling the city's streets with colour, Manchester Flower Festival will make its return this May and feature show gardens, floristry displays and markets.

Taking place over the late May Bank Holiday weekend, the festival is organised by Manchester City Centre Business Improvement District.

Attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors into the city, the event also features a cocktail trail, live music stage, floral workshops, arts and crafts markets and family entertainment.
