I'm not sure those in charge realise exactly what they're taking away here, the M.E.N's Emma Gill writes
With giant firework displays and fires open to the public at the likes of Heaton Park , it was where thousands would head for the celebration knowing they'd be in for a fun night.
There's no disputing that those are decent events, although the latter two are city centre based and that comes with added costs for families, many of whom are struggling more than ever with the ongoing cost of living crisis. Everyone knows how much fireworks cost and few families have enough spare cash to be putting on a lavish display of their own. They also like to know it's a well organised event with all the necessary health and safety checks.
Let's take the new Aviva Studios for example. The home of Factory International opened last year, with the final cost of the landmark arts venue confirmed at nearly a quarter-of-a-billion pounds. In 2017, the original budget for the building was £110 million, but this spiralled to £210.8 million in five years.
A quick search for 'what's on' for families right now leads to a rather sad 'sorry, no events found' page. Visitors were invited to enter the Real Good Chicken Company’s headquarters and let has-been mascot Chicky Ricky take them under his wing for a 'weird and wonderful journey into the food chain'.
