Week 53 Festival ticket offer: £5 for Saturday’s WHOLE programme inc. wine & popcorn

Week 53 festival, organised by The Lowry, includes performances by 200 national and international artists over 63 shows and exhibitions. The result is a genuinely extravagant celebration of the arts, taking in everything from contemporary dance and visual art to music, clubbing and immersive theatre. The festival more in store too, with events and performances taking over all the available space within the Lowry and moving into new and unused spaces too. The result is a unique festival that’s a big news in the Greater Manchester arts scenes as the International Festival. Our five must see events include Katie Paterson’s cosmic Syzygy exhibition, immersive dance piece, An Anatomie in Four Quarters, 2Magpie’s unflinching theatrical dissection of the Guantanamo Bay controversy and an exhibition devoted to the Smiths (read our guide here).
