The much-anticipated event of the summer is back – with Summer Daze set to return to Trafford Centre from 22 July – 3 September.
Get ready for sandcastles and sunbathing on a huge 600 square metre beach, before cooling off at not one, but two thrilling splash parks, complete with multiple water jets for guaranteed family-friendly fun.
Unleash your adrenaline, with over twenty fairground rides to enjoy – including Sea Storm, Waveswinger and Don Sapo – as well as family-friendly rides such as Waterballs, Racing Cars and Bumper Boats.
