The summer must go on! HOME is planning its re-opening which is set for Monday 17 May with bookings already being taken for their art, theatre and cinema events. If you are unfamiliar, HOME is the Mancunian epicentre for contemporary theatre, film, art and music. The venue supports international and UK based artists by hosting events and exhibitions to celebrate people and their work. If you are a person interested in the arts, then these are some of the things you can book at HOME with it’s reopening…
Adopting the theme ‘We Cannot Walk Alone’ from the iconic Martin Luther King Jr speech, HOME presents Horizons Festival 2021 from Saturday 12 until Friday 18 June. In partnership with Community Arts North West, HOME has put together a festival that celebrates the creativity of people who now call Manchester their home. The festival will feature an array of diverse performances like North West Turkish Community Association Dance Group and Luma Trio – plus many, many more. Explore their full line-up via the link below.
HOME has two exciting new art exhibitions planned for its opening, and what’s more exciting is that they are both complexly free to explore. These exhibitions include Soul Journey to Truth by Lady Unchained (Brenda Birungi) where visitors can inspect the diverse art of women within the criminal justice system, and A Quilter’s Guide to The Lesbian Archive which explores queer history through an artistic lens. While they’re both free to view, visitors will be required to book a ticket before they visit. Learn more by following the link below.
Many of us have tried to recreate HOME’s undefeated cinema, restaurant and drinks combination from home, but let’s stop playing pretend. The HOME restaurant is vegan friendly, with a popular selection of vegan dishes to choose from. If you like your food with a kick you must try their cauliflower buffalo wings. For those of you with a sweeter tooth, we recommend the honey and soy chicken bao buns. Book your table by following the link below.
Shakespeare get ready, HOME has announced their new outdoor theatre. Opening to the public on Friday 28 May, this is some fun for the family that cannot be missed. HOMEground has already announced two productions aimed at families that will be hitting their stage from June, A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland. Book your tickets now and make sure to keep an eye out for other events as we find out more about HOMEground.
