Make a Money Box at People’s History Museum
As the PHM’s flagship Show Me The Money exhibition starts to wind down, they’ve put on this family friendly activity. Young savers are invited over to the craft table to make a money box, drawing from a full box of art materials and their own furtive imaginations. While you’re there, it’s well worth checking out the exhibition itself, which looks at money and finance through the ages, before it closes its doors at the end of January.
Fri 19 Dec – Sun 3 Jan, People’s History Museum, Left Bank, Manchester, M3 3ER. Tel: 0161 838 9190, www.phm.org.uk

The Wicked Path at Odd Bar (pictured)
Odd Bar’s weekly blues and Americana night is here for one last break down before Christmas. Mancunian folksters The Wicked Path host in the downstairs bar, along with sets from some of their friends. It’s laid back live music and the perfect antidote to the sugary sweetness of the Christmas charts. Not a single ‘Feed the World’ to be heard, guaranteed.
Sun 20 Dec, Odd Bar, 30-32 Thomas Street, Manchester, M4 1ER. Tel: 0161 833 0070, 8pm, www.oddbar.co.uk
