On Sunday 15 December, our Man City Kids Fanzone Christmas special will be a completely free event that will run for two-and-a-half-hours ahead of our weekend match against Manchester United.

For fans with or without a match ticket for the Manchester derby, we look forward to welcoming families to the City Football Academy indoor pitch which will be jam-packed with Christmas excitement.

The event will be running from 12:30 - 15:00 (UK).

Those in attendance will be in with a chance of winning amazing prizes at the Kids Fanzone including the chance to be a player mascot and walk out on the pitch with the players against Manchester United, the chance to be in the team photo ahead of kick-off, a squad-signed shirt and loads more Christmas goodies! 

What have we got going on at our Christmas special Kids Fanzone? We have...

  • A space to have a kick about with our City in the Community coaches
  • 25 football-related inflatables and activations
  • A design your own gingerbread football shapes decorating station
  • A meet and greet with Santa and his elves who will be handing out City goodies
  • Live music from our roaming brass band who will be playing lots of festive tunes
  • A family picture station at our gingerbread house
  • A photo opportunity with our amazing Ice Queen stilt walkers
  • The Grinch in attendance, having travelled all the way from Whoville! 

We’ve also had visits from Rodri, Nathan Ake and Josh Wilson-Esbrand this season, so who knows, maybe another player will pop in to help spread some festive cheer!
