Wing Fest is landing in Manchester this month, celebrating its tenth anniversary. The festival, which honours all things chicken wings and is the largest of its kind in the world, will take place at the new Victoria Baths from Friday, September 20, to Sunday, September 22.

The festival will celebrate independent brands from all around the UK, showcasing their wing skills as they go face-to-face with others, hoping their wings will nab one of the many accolades. The Best Buffalo Wing, Best Wild Wing, and Best BBQ Wing are up for grabs, with over 100,000 competing drums and flats being served by ten different street food traders, restaurants and BBQ teams. When you're all winged out, there's music, axe throwing, beer, and bourbon.

Day tickets cost £22.50 and can be purchased on their website.
