Animals of Manchester at The Whitworth at The Whitworth, Manchester, 20–21 July 2019, free entry - Find Out More

Head to Animals of Manchester, a cultural experiment for some wild times like no other as artists, scientists, musicians and theatre-makers take over The Whitworth and Whitworth Park for Manchester International Festival’s final weekend.

Step into a world where all animals live alongside each other as equals on a rambunctious and transformative trail.

Details on Animals of Manchester are yet to be announced but we can expect a university where dogs do the teaching, an edible Arndale Centre for squirrels and birds, a film studio run by beetles, an interspecies family centre with rescued hedgehogs, a conference of animals led by a cow, a living memorial for extinct species, and a Life Art Library honouring animals as artists and performers.

A fine way to end the festival and celebrate the start of the school holidays alike, we’re sure that dressing up will be positively encouraged.
