THE HERDS Summer Family Workshop
Always double check opening hours with the venue before making a special visit.

Looking for something fun to do with the kids before Manchester International Festival 2025 kicks off? Head to Let the Wildness In, a playful family workshop inspired by the spectacular new MIF25 production, THE HERDS.
Led by professional artists and makers, these drop-in sessions invite families to get creative and make their very own animal puppets, using the Let the Wildness In activity pack. It’s a brilliant opportunity to explore the ideas behind THE HERDS, get a behind-the-scenes look at the production, and bring your own imagination to life.
No previous experience is needed, just come along to The Social at Aviva Studios, roll up your sleeves and get going. It’s a fantastic event for children who love getting creative, storytelling and having fun.
Free to attend and suitable for all ages, this workshop is a great chance to connect with and get excited for MIF25 ahead of the festival’s full launch. To find out more about THE HERDS and everything else happening at Manchester International Festival 2025, check out the full programme.
