There's so much to do at our Community Festival! Whether you are young or old, interested in science or art, want to get hands-on and have fun or just want to find out more about the plethora of work that takes place at the University, join us for a fun day of family activities.

On 25 June 2022 we’re inviting you and all our friends and neighbours in the local community to go behind the scenes of the University and discover the exciting work taking place here. This free event has something for everyone - hands-on activities, tours, live experiments, sporting challenges, creative arts, face-painting, a pop-up Manchester Museum, the chance to meet with our staff, students and community partners...and much, much more!

As part of the programme you can attend the following free drop-in performances:

Banging our Drums for Unity and Social Change: This performance brings together professional musicians and academics to share their research about how music and creativity can contribute to social change. Drawing on the unique sounds and wisdom of West African drums and dance - you are invited to join in!

'The Mice go to the Cinema' by the Huaxia Chinese Sunday School in association with the Confucius Institute. This short comedy is about a mouse kingdom underneath a cinema. Join us to find out what happens next!

Our School of Arts, Culture and Language Jazz Ensemble will give a toe-tapping performance. This will be appropriate for all ages and guarantees to brighten your day.

The Flash Bang Show: Everyone’s favourite, this demonstration opens your eyes to the amazing world of chemistry that is all around us. There will be fantastic colour changes, flashes and the occasional bang, so hold on to your hats!

You can also pre-book on to the following free tours:

Go behind the scenes of the Firs Environmental Research Station. Visit our hidden greenhouses and find out more about air quality research at The University of Manchester.

Join us on a Heritage tour as we journey around the University’s fine neo-gothic architecture and sites of world-changing discovery and hear how our University developed from pioneering origins in the industrial revolution to become a leading university.

Take a tour of our new home of Engineering and Materials; it’s a place like nothing else. We’ve torn up the idea of what a University building is and created a playground for engineers and scientists, truly open to the world around it in its design.
