Roll up, roll up! Get it while it’s hot (off the press)! Our fifth annual cultural calendar is a beautifully illustrated A4 broadsheet. Designed to fold out and adorn your walls with a colourful reminder of the most exciting and anticipated events of 2014 – from art, dance, theatre and literature via a mechanical circus and, yes, a festival dedicated to forced rhubarb – this is your definitive what’s-on-guide for the North.

Modern Designers has taken care of the aesthetics, commissioning LA-based illustrator Patrick Hruby to produce a bespoke and fantastically playful design to bring the calendar to life with literal interpretations of the events, exhibitions and festivals it contains.
