The nights are getting longer, and the temperature’s getting lower – so that can only mean one thing – Christmas is on its way....The Manchester10 iPhone app gives you the top ten things to do in Manchester each week direct to your phone for free.
1. On Thursday 10th November, Manchester’s streets will be welcoming in the festive spirit –with the Christmas Light Switch-On in Albert Square. Free music, and fireworks!!
2. There will be even more shine and sparkle in Bolton from the 8th – 12th November, as Britain’s Got Bhangra comes to the Octagon Theatre.
3. The Bridgewater Hall welcomes Van Morrison back to Manchester on Saturday 12th November.
4. And there will be a very different kind of Moondance taking place at the RNCM – as they welcome the English Youth Ballet’s performance of Giselle on the 9th and 10th November.
5. Friday Night is Movie Night this week, even in the more unusual of locations. Why not check out the Noir Classic, They Made me a Fugitive, at the Whitworth Art Gallery?
6. Lee Evans is at the MEN Arena all week, showcasing his unique blend of physical comedy – in his new show Roadrunner.
7. A small piece of the Lake District starts its residence at one of Manchester’s architectural gems, as a new exhibition of Beatrix Potter artwork has just gone on display at Lyme Park.
8.A Beautiful Thing starts at the Royal Exchange on the 9th November – Head there on Friday to see an exciting pre concert performance by the Manchester Gay and Lesbian Chorus as part of their free Special FX series.
9. Allow some time for reflection in the run up to Remembrance Sunday. The Imperial War Museum will be hosting various events – including daily Remembrance tours of the building.
10. And finally, if the thought of all that snow, and Christmas cheer is just too much – why not set your sights on Summer 2012 instead, and sign up to be involved in the next Manchester Day Parade. Next year’s theme is The Sky’s The Limit – but why stop there?!....
This is one of the most succinct and convenient "what's on" guide I have seen. Thanks
ReplyDeleteAny news on an Android App?
Thank you Gurbir.
ReplyDeleteAs you know, nobody pays to be included. We don't make any money from this and do this purely because we want to make Manchester easier and better for visitors and residents.
Obviously, we'd dearly love to make an Android App and it is certainly something we plan but we would need sponsorship in order to make it happen. This is something we are looking into.
Many thanks.
