November arrives in Manchester with barely a moment to catch your breath — All Saints' Day falls on a Sunday and the city has absolutely no intention of slowing down. From antique treasure-hunting at dawn to late-night comedy that celebrates local talent, today is one of those days where every corner of Manchester seems to be offering something worth getting out of bed for. Whether you are five or fifty-five, a music obsessive, a sports fanatic, or a family with face paint still on from last night, there is a slot in today's schedule with your name on it.

Highlights

Stockport Guildhall Antiques, Vintage & Collectors Fair — Kick off your Sunday morning with a proper rummage at the magnificent Stockport Masonic Guildhall, where dealers bring everything from Victorian curiosities to mid-century gems and vinyl you did not know you needed. Doors open at 9:30am, and for just £6 on the door you get access to one of the most atmospheric antiques fairs in the region — those high ceilings and ornate rooms make the whole thing feel like a treasure hunt inside a secret society headquarters. Go early, go hungry for discovery, and budget extra for the things you absolutely cannot leave without.

Mischief Under The Moon - A Family Halloween Day Party — Halloween may officially be over, but nobody told Campfield House — and honestly, thank goodness for that. This daytime party for families kicks off at 2:00pm and promises costumed chaos, spooky fun, and the kind of collective silliness that children will be talking about for weeks. At £0–£6 it is genuinely one of the most accessible family events in the city right now, so dig out those capes and fangs one last glorious time.

Manchester Storm vs Cardiff Devils — If you have never been to an ice hockey match at the AO Arena, tonight is the night to fix that — the Manchester Storm take on the Cardiff Devils in what promises to be a fast, ferocious, and deafeningly loud clash on the ice. Puck drops at 4:30pm, and with premium venue options available alongside standard tickets, you can tailor the experience to suit your evening. Check the website for pricing, grab a hot dog, and prepare to be completely, helplessly hooked on the sport by the first period.

Deaf Havana - Fools & Worthless Liars + More — Deaf Havana are performing their landmark album Fools and Worthless Liars in full at the O2 Ritz Manchester at 6:30pm, and for fans of emotionally charged, anthemic British rock this is genuinely unmissable stuff. The Ritz is one of Manchester's most beloved mid-sized venues — all sprung dancefloor and warm acoustics — and the crowd for this one is going to know every single word. Check the website for remaining tickets, and move quickly because evenings like this do not hang around.

Akaash Singh - Generational Triumph Tour — American stand-up Akaash Singh brings his Generational Triumph Tour to the stunning Aviva Studios at 7:00pm, and if sharp, culturally astute comedy delivered with total confidence is your thing, you are in exactly the right place. Aviva Studios — The Hall is one of the most exciting performance spaces Manchester has opened in years, and it lends a real event-night weight to an already compelling show. Check the website for tickets, and prepare to laugh harder than is probably dignified on a Sunday.

Made in Manchester || Creatures Comedy Club — Round off your Sunday the right way with a night of homegrown comedy talent at the Creatures Comedy Club, where the Made in Manchester showcase puts a spotlight firmly on the best acts the city and surrounding region have been quietly producing. At just £5–£8 for a late-night 8:30pm show, it is the kind of low-risk, high-reward evening that reminds you why Manchester's grassroots comedy scene punches so far above its weight. Arrive ready to be surprised — the next big name in British comedy might well be on that stage tonight.
