Fancy a blast from the past? Look no further than The Deaf Institute this Friday for a proper injection of 90s punk nostalgia.

If you’re after a more sophisticated pre-gamer to your Saturday night, head to Tib Street’s favourite jazz bar for a short and sweet early evening gig at Matt & Phred’s.
Drawing from eclectic influences of Blues, Jazz, Funk, R&B, Rhumba, Ragtime, and even Classical music and Rock – Henry Botham are sure to transport you to New Orleans in an instant.
Try something a little different this Friday over at the Manchester Art Gallery and try your hand at drawing and chatting in the beautiful Trading Station exhibition.
A great opportunity to slow things down and let those creativity skills shine, take a seat and have a go at drawing teapots and mugs while sharing your thoughts on the world.
Be sure to check out the latest exhibition over at one of Chorlton’s favorite pizza bars, Electrik. A joint exhibition by artists Emma Evans and Richard Kelly, you’re going to want to check out their whole series of cracking art adorning the much-loved walls.
Have a browse, grab a drink, and feast on some stellar Four Side pizza.
