Youth, a Manchester-based design studio, presents No Age – an open exhibition at 184 Deansgate exploring the value of collaboration and designing for culture not demographic.

Youth founders Liam McGroarty & Oliver Collinge believe design in Manchester is being driven by numbers and demographics rather than cultures and lifestyles, which should define its future as a city. The exhibition will communicate this narrative and will feature a talks programme with some of Manchester’s most progressive creatives.

Food and Drink in the North

Spring is here, so sign yourself up for some much-missed al fresco dining at these highly recommended (and mostly new) Manchester restaurants.

The image depicts a man at the centre with grey hair and rosy cheeks, surrounding him are fairies that appear to be created in his own image with multiple limbs and unique bodily proportions. Around them are hundreds of vials, microscopes and dated scientific equipment.

Spring has sprung a wealth of great exhibitions in the North West, from intimate photographic shows to huge installations.
