00:00Hello and welcome to Manchester World, my name's Theo Huston-Betts and this is our video on all the amazing events and experiences that you could be taking advantage of this week in Manchester.
00:08Now we're going to start with the week-long Manchester Irish Festival.
00:11Now St Patrick's Day is on the horizon and as a result the Irish community here in Manchester are turning the city into a playground of music, fun and stout.
00:19This is the biggest event of its kind in Europe and there are over 100 events planned over the next week.
00:23With a litany of excellent Irish bars all across the city, you'd be crazy not to head out at some point this week for a pint of Guinness and a little celebration.
00:30Next, the Six Islands Fan Zone is still on at Freight Island and with England's victory at the weekend keeping the country's hopes alive,
00:36it can be well worth a visit to see if England's rugby side can deliver in a way that the football team often falls short of.
00:41With a great range of drinks and food, it's genuinely an excellent place to watch the games.
00:45Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is on at the Palace Theatre this week, arriving in Manchester as part of the show's UK-wide tour.
00:50It's a really great show, so well worth a watch.
00:53Over the next weekend, East Lancashire Railways are hosting the Legends of Steam,
00:56with tonnes of old steam engines making their way across the area in a display of sheer industrial power and significance.
01:01There'll be trains such as the LNER A1 Peppercorn Class 60163 Tornado and tonnes more,
01:09so if trains are your bag, please get down and take in the sights.
01:12Manchester's Film Festival is returning to the city at the end of this week too.
01:16The Odeon at the Great Northern Warehouse is the site for the city's biggest celebration of wonderful new and independent films.
01:21It's going to be running from the 14th through to the 23rd of March,
01:24and has a wonderful expansive list of brilliant small independent films that are very deserving of love.
01:29Finally this Sunday, Grubb are hosting an East Asian Food Fair, which promises to be a spectacular time.
01:34There'll be six food vendors offering a massive range of great food, so head down and give it a go.
01:38But that's all for this week. Thank you for watching Manchester World,
01:41and we look forward to seeing you again next week as we talk you through more events in Manchester.
