the home we made

Where do you find your people, your family beyond family?

Maybe it starts with a brew that never gets finished, a laugh shared under the rain, or a stranger who turns into someone you can't imagine life without.

For moments like these, a city is built. From voices like these, a story begins.

The Home We Made is a brand-new piece of theatre that throws open Manchester's front door and invites you in.

Created with HOME from HOME community groups and local artists, it's a celebration of belonging, of the bonds that grow between neighbours, friends, and strangers who choose to stand side by side.

Brick by brick, laugh by laugh, memory by memory, it fills with everything that makes this city legendary; warmth, grit, humour, heart. While Manchester grows taller, its roots run deeper.

A HOME production with award-winning company Malandra Jacks.

The Home We Made has been made possible through the support of The Esmee Fairbairn Foundation, Garfield Weston Foundation and the Leri Charitable Trust.
