MIF17: Dinner Party at the End of the World at a secret venue at Albert Square, City Centre 4 — 15 July 2017 Tickets from £50.00 — Book now

Accompanying Shunt Collective’s theatrical performance Party Skills at the End of the World for MIF17 is a Dinner Party at the End of the World from acclaimed Manchester chef Mary-Ellen McTague. Formerly head chef at renowned Prestwich restaurant Aumbry and behind MIF15’s magical High Tea in Wonderland event, McTague has a reputation for producing innovative, experimental food that always tastes exceptional. Lending her skills to a series of last suppers for 20 guests, McTague and her team will produce a delicious, surprising menu that responds to themes of survival, extinction, scarcity and opulence at a secret location. Dinner Party at the End of the World muses on what we might choose – or be forced – to eat at the end of days.
