Census Sharing Event

Arty Farty Highlights
Census is back, 2025.
What happens when a working-class community tells its own story?
A bus ride. A bingo card. A memory you didn’t know you shared.
This is our neighbourhood, not the one in the media, but the one shaped by our stories, our laughter and our silence.

Arty Farty Highlights
Alright, be honest: what good are the arts? What do they mean? What are they for? Do you and your community need the arts – or want them? Arty Farty is the latest instalment of Manchester International Festival's micro-international festivals created and streamed from home by Greater Manchester artists.

Getting to know ancoats - launch event
GETTING TO KNOW ANCOATS
Miniature statues of current local legends will be placed across Ancoats this August. The trail will take you over cobbled streets, to historical buildings and through parts of Ancoats you’ve maybe never seen before. Accompanied by a unique audio piece featuring voices from the Ancoats community.
Creative, hard working and fun to work with. I can’t recommend them enough as devisers and theatre makers. An outstanding pair!
Alan Lane Artistic Director, Slung Low
