tour

Fieldnotes:

Originally a Love Architecture Event As cities go Manchester is great at producing vibrant pockets of public art. From Lemn Sissay’s series of poems adorning the walls and pavements through to the classical Ford Madox Brown murals at the Town Hall, but what other artworks lie in wait of discovery? What about off the streets and into the everyday; the negative spaces where you spend so much time.

Come and explore the hidden art of the city!

Fieldnotes: 

Sounds From the Other City special! The history of the Chapel Street festival venues, plus access to a hidden underground location.

Please bring a torch if you have one and note that you may get a little dusty down there. A part of this tour will be in a dark, confined space.

The tour ends with not just underground but with a wonderful surprise!
