A festival with free food is coming to Manchester this weekend

Some of Manchester's best known restaurants have been lined up for a festival of free food this weekend.

Guests won't have to pay a penny for tickets or their food at Deliveroo's World of Food festival at Victoria Warehouse.

Pan-Asian restaurant Tampopo, Indian and Pakistani grill Zouk, burger bar Byron, Tex-Mex favourite Barburrito and Italian restaurant Gusto will be among eight traders serving up dishes - all on the house.

Guests can enjoy one sample of food from each of them during the event.

Festival-goers can explore a maze of hidden doorways and streets inside the venue, including a secret entrance leading to an American diner; a Vespa marking out an Italian area; and a tuk-tuk transporting them to an Asian street food market.

There'll also be a bar where guests can buy drinks, plus a line up of live music.

Emily Kraftman, marketing director at the restaurant meal delivery service, said: “With Deliveroo, our customers can eat what they want, where they want, when they want and through the World of Food, they can do just that. 

"This is a festival for anyone and everyone, so gather your friends and family for a fun, food-filled, free day out.”

The event takes place on Saturday July 6 across three sessions, from noon to 2.30pm; 3.30pm to 6pm; and 7pm to 10pm. To register for free tickets visit Eventbrite .

The World of Food festival then travels to Liverpool's Camp & Furnace on July 27, New Dock Hall in Leeds on August 3, and The Passenger Shed in Bristol on August 24.
