Circle Square hosted its Summer in the City Picnic, transforming it’s green space into one of Manchester’s most lively community spaces. The event brought together families, friends, and visitors from across the city to enjoy food, music, and activities in the sunshine, and we were there to photograph it all.

The park became a bustling picnic spot for the day, with long tables lined with families sharing food and drink from Circle Square’s retailers. The atmosphere was relaxed yet energetic, perfectly capturing the essence of a summer afternoon in the city.

Guests were treated to a rich programme of entertainment. Roaming bands such as Rio Brass filled the park with upbeat sounds, while roller skaters, hula hoopers, and interactive performers added colour and movement throughout the day. DJs and local artists kept the energy flowing, creating a festival-like spirit that made Circle Square feel truly alive.

Our photography team was on hand to document the occasion, highlighting moments of joy, creativity, and togetherness. From families laughing over games to musicians leading crowds in song, every corner of Symphony Park told its own story.

If you’re hosting a community celebration, brand activation or corporate event, professional photography is key to capturing the energy, atmosphere and impact of the day. Get in touch to discuss how we can bring your event to life through photography.
