A chicken-wing festival with live music and competitions at Victoria Baths, part of the touring Wing Fest series.

Wing Fest is a touring chicken-wing festival, and the Manchester event brings street food traders, restaurants and barbecue teams to Victoria Baths to compete for votes in the official UK Chicken Wing Awards.

Tickets include live bands and DJs, eating competitions, fairground rides, games and axe throwing, with bars throughout; wings are bought on site from the traders. Friday and evening sessions are for over-18s, while daytime sessions suit families.
