Our picks of free things to do in Manchester this week include a talk on the Zero Carbon City at The Mayfield, part of Design Manchester 2019.
Arch 7 at The Mayfield hosts a series of talks this week in partnership with The Royal Danish Embassy and Design Manchester 2019. On Wednesday evening, the talk will cover the subject of the zero carbon city, both as a challenge and as an aspiration. Speakers include Danish city architect Stephen Willacy and Gavin Elliott, the chair of the Manchester Climate Change Board.
The Number 8 cocktail bar at Oxford Road shipping container venue Hatch is the staging area for this free party. LUNAR promises a night of house, disco, UK garage and more from their resident DJs. It’s a small venue – only 80 capacity – so arriving early is recommended.
On Thursday, there will be a screening of the new documentary Rotpunkt at city-centre outdoor pursuits store Patagonia. Rotpunkt charts the history and counterculture of German rock climbers, from the daredevils of the 60s and 70s through modern-day climber Alex Megos. The word Rotpunkt translates to red point, the point at which a free climbing route up a rockface begins.
