Whether you fancy a bat walk in Salford, a spoken word night in one of Levenshulme’s favourite eateries or want to catch Gok Wan spinning on the decks in town – we’ve got you covered for the best free things to do in Manchester this week.
Head over to Oxford Road’s beautiful art gallery, The Whitworth, for an informative and engaging Q&A between BAS9 artist Katie Schwab with mosaic artist Tracey Cartledge and Mosaic Restoration Director Gary Bricknell.
Touching on all things mosaic, from repair to restoration and care to community – this is sure to be an evening filled with stacks of fascinating information.
Get yourself over to the buzzing neighbourhood of Levenshulme this Thursday for a stellar night of spoken word, poetry and all things writing.
Nestled in one of Leve’s favourite coffee shops stroke pan-cultural space where chai, coffee and chat go hand in hand – this is definitely one you do not want to miss.
Listen to the house’s featured writers, Dipika, Clare and Afshan, and if you’re up to it – why not share your own material too?
Check out Ducie Street Warehouse’s free Pride party this Saturday featuring a whole host of fantastic DJs from across Manchester’s diverse LGBTQIA+ community soundtracking the entire night into the early hours of the next morning.
With an extra special guest gracing the walls of the warehouse, be sure to hang around until none other than Gok Wan shows up for a very special spin on the decks.
Check out the über cool independent art space, Saul Hay Gallery, to see their excellent Beyond Landscapes exhibition.
All about reimagining the limits and definitions of what ‘landscape art’ can be, Cotton On MCR will be using the opportunity to showcase a whole array of works from Greater Manchester artists.
From painted landscapes of natural scenes alongside more abstract work, cityscapes and even landscape-themed sculptures, this is a great way to both see some new art and support the local Mancunian art scene while you’re at it.
