Freerunners and aerial artists are to join forces next month for a special live performance in Manchester. The Flow Freerunning and Aerial Show has been brought together by Evolve Manchester and promises a variety of eye-catching aerial performances and hair-raising freerunning stunts. Set in an indoor setting, the event will feature a variety of obstacles and terrain designed to replicate the urban environment. With artists on the aerial trapeze, cube and silks, spectators can witness the strength and skill of the performers alongside the precision and abilities of freerunning and parkour experts. Evolve also offer lessons and classes in the skills on show if you're inspired to join in - just don't try the freerunning stunts in town afterwards! Flow Freerunning and Aerial Show, Saturday October 24, 6-10pm. Bowlers Exhibition Centre, Longbridge Road, Trafford Park. Tickets £25. See more things to do in Manchester from Time Out.

The summer holidays are over and you've visited more parks than you can shake a stick at, but what is there to do now the days are shorter and the weather is cooler? Here are five suggestions for indoor days out for the family, in and around Manchester this autumn. Chill FactoreWe haven't had a great deal of snow over the last couple of years, so if you like getting a sledge out at the first sign of a flurry, you're probably going to like Chill Factore. There are activities on offer for everyone aged two and over including a snow park for children under four. Children aged four and over can use the ice luge, sledges and donuts as well as the newly-opened snow luge. There are taster sessions for skiing and snowboarding as well as lessons, party packages and general ski and snowboarding passes.Chill Factore, Trafford Quays Leisure Village, Trafford Way. Rock Over ClimbingIf you're feeling adventurous try Rock Over Climbing just outside the city centre. With equipment suitable for beginners and experts, it's a great way to spend a rainy afternoon with the family – everyone can have a go regardless of ability. Rock Over Climbing offers lessons, parties, ladies-only sessions and holiday clubs, which incorporate an assortment of other activities too.
