We’re just a matter of days away from Halloween and all the inevitable spooky season antics that come along with it so we thought we’d round up a handful of things to do in and around the city that’ll help you save your pennies until the special day.
From cracking Castlefield exhibitions to supper clubs at Factory International – here’s our rundown of the five best free things to do in Manchester this week…
Housed in Castlefield Gallery’s distinct architect-designed interior, this dynamic exhibition will bring together site-specific ‘spatial paintings’ by Jo McGonigal with paintings and sculptures by Sir Frank Bowling OBE RA.
All about exploring new ways of thinking about the relationship between painting, sculpture and architecture, this cracking exhibition will be on until early February so be sure to check it out when you can!
SOUP, dubbed ‘part symposium and part supper club’, is coming to Factory International this week to celebrate Black History Month.
The lovely lot behind SOUP are inviting attendees to come together for a celebration of Black culture. Guests can cook a hearty soup featuring some favourite ingredients shared across West African cuisine, while DJ Devolicious soundtracks the festivities.
Dive into the heart and soul of Latin culture this Thursday at Escape to Freight Island with music from local selectors to groove out to all the best Latin House, Samba, Reggaeton and more.
All about bringing people together and championing the shared joy of music, dance and food, Casa Latina is a great way to boost your spirits in this miserable slog of weather we’ve been having as of recent.
Waterside Arts in Sale has just announced a free exhibition on the work of Ray Harryhausen – the mastermind behind some of Hollywood’s most iconic cinematic special effects.
Inspired by John Walsh’s book Harryhausen: The Lost Movies, this exhibition promises a rare opportunity for film buffs and fans to experience the worlds and work of this visionary animation pioneer who influenced some of the biggest Hollywood directors of our time.
