Girl Gang are back for another Radical Late at the People’s History Museum. If you are feeling a bit lonely or just fancy meeting some new people, join Girl Gang Manchester’s friendship revolution. Speed mate-ing is designed to be a silly and inclusive evening of fun that will allow you to outside of your usual comfort zone without even realising. It’s a great way to find people with similar interests in a low pressure environment while embracing your revolutionary spirit.

Taking inspiration from dating shows, bad business meetings, teenage sleepovers and agony aunts, you are invited to undertake creative challenges and respond to conversational topics, creating authentic connections between new friends, quickly and without judgement. The whole Museum will also be open to all visitors till 8 pm as it is when all the Radical Late events occur. It is recommended that you give a donation of £5 but there is no obligation.
