For just over one week, locals and visitors to Manchester will have the opportunity to see work by some of the artists, designers and architects of tomorrow. From 30 September to 8 October, Manchester School of Art hosts its annual MA Show, a showcase of work by graduates across a wide range of disciplines.

Manchester School of Art’s alumni include photographer Martin Parr, fashion designer Sarah Burton OBE and designer Thomas Heatherwick – this year’s graduating class may well include people who will become the names of the future. Drop into the contemporary gallery spaces of the RIBA award-winning Benzie Building and the historic Grosvenor Building for this one-off chance to see the graduates’ fresh, innovative work for the first time.

10am-6pm Monday-Friday; 10am-4pm Saturday.
