If you want a kids eat free deal somewhere you’ll actually look forward to going to, this list is for you. We’ve picked out nine cool (and even chic) Manchester restaurants that offer free kids meals during the school holidays – including February half-term 2026.

Options range from vegan pizza palace Purezza to family-friendly hotel restaurant The Laureate (very handy if you’re visiting Manchester Museum or going swimming at Manchester Aquatics Centre).

And if you need inspiration for what to do and see after you’ve eaten, check out our guide to Things to do with kids in Manchester.
