Doki Doki - The Manchester Japanese Festival is a unique event celebrating both traditional and modern Japanese culture.
Returning after the inaugural event held in 2011, which attracted 1,600 visitors, the second festival will take place on Saturday 9 November 2013 at Sugden Sports Centre in Manchester.
With twice the amount of space as the first festival, Doki Doki 2013 aims to be a bigger event, with talks, demonstrations and other events showcasing manga, anime, fashion, music, martial arts and other aspects of Japanese art and culture, both past and present, as well as retail stalls, artist stands, a cinema room, games area and food & drink area.
The festival will run from 10:00am (9:00am for early bird ticket holders) to 7:00pm and will be followed by an after-party.
For more details, including ticket prices, see the Doki Doki Festival website.
