A selfie festival is coming to Manchester and it's the most 2019 thing ever

A selfie festival is coming to Manchester - and it's an Instagrammer's pastel-coloured dream come true.

The Flamingo Factory will fill Victoria Warehouse with whimsical backdrops and props for visitors to stage photo shoots with their friends.

Organisers say they'll be creating 'unreal settings' for social media lovers to snap 'insanely Instagrammable moments to share with the world'.

Social media lovers can bathe in petals and ball pools, pose in a flower-filled phone box and ride a giant pink hippo in the event's selfie pods.

Promo photos for the event also show props including an inflatable flamingo, neon signs and a zebra sculpture.

A giant inflatable maze of light and colour will appear at Salford Quays as part of a summer festival

"After an hour in Flamingo Factory, you’ll have enough content to fill your Instagram feed for at least a year," organisers promise.

Billed as The UK's first touring selfie rooms, the event will take place in August with an exact date to be confirmed soon, before going on to visit locations across the country.
