Feel Good family events to return

Free summer fun will be returning to the borough this year, with Rochdale Borough Council confirming Feel Good Family Picnic events will be staged again in 2025.

The popular days out for families pulled over 15,000 people last year with events in Heywood, Middleton, Littleborough and Rochdale.  

Line-up details will be announced in the spring, but the event will include days of free fun activities, performances, music, sports, dance, theatre and shows for children of all ages in local parks and once again visitors will be encouraged to bring a picnic. 

Councillor Sue Smith, cabinet member for communities and co-operation at Rochdale Borough Council, said: “After the huge visitor numbers we saw last year and all the fabulous feedback we had from families I am pleased to confirm it will be returning this summer. Planning is well under-way and we’ll be creating another amazing programme of free things to do during the school holidays.” 

Dates and locations will be confirmed in the coming weeks.  

The Feel Good Family Picnic will be staged by the council in partnership with Without Walls, a consortium of festivals and arts organisations bringing fantastic outdoor arts to people in towns and cities across England. It will be supported through the government’s Shared Prosperity Fund and Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA).
