The event will be held at Central Park, Century City, where fans will have the opportunity to:

  • Meet former defender Joleon Lescott
  • Meet club mascot Moonchester
  • Win a signed shirt

From 10am until 3.30pm, the festival will be open to all fans on a first come first served basis.

The event will include the chance for 5-12 year olds to take part in coaching clinics with Manchester City coaches (participation via sign up at the event on the day).

The screening event will then kick off at 4pm and have limited capacity.

Fans signed up for the match screening are still welcome to join the festival earlier in the day and will be given a wristband on entry.

The trophy and Joleon will also be visiting Totalsports, Canal Walk Mall, between 4pm and 6pm on Saturday 15 October for photos and signing.

This is also a chance for Manchester City fans to get together and watch their clash with Liverpool which will take place on Sunday 16 October.
