You’re invited to a 200th birthday celebration like no other – Universally Manchester Festival, presented by The University of Manchester from our iconic Oxford Road campus, with 150+ free events from 6-9 June.
Experience everything from poetry to physics, music to medicine, computing to creative writing and more. Discover entertaining talks and powerful performances, explore inspiring exhibitions and immersive art installations, get creative at a drop-in craft session and try amazing hands-on science activities. And when you need a break? Visit the Festival Village for artisan food and handmade crafts, and let loose at our Carnival takeover of the Whitworth. Can’t be here in Manchester? Join us online.
Access to the festival is free and open to all, however some of our most popular events will be ticketed due to their popularity.
