Three Examples Of What’s On Offer In Manchester
The Manchester International Festival – A Once In A Lifetime Event
30th Jun – 17th Jul
There have been two international festivals in the past and this will be the third and yet again the organizers have created a line up of renowned artists from around the world.
Which Performers Will Be There?
The Engish National Opera are partnering with Damon Albarn of Blur fame, Bjork is spending three weeks here on her first UK date in three years and the world famous Teatro Real Madrid are performing another world premier of the life and death of one of performance art’s godmothers, Marina Abramovic. Perhaps you saw Damon Albarn performing one of the songs from the Opera on Andrew Marr’s TV show? A treat in store, I think!
For children desperate to join in themselves, try The Crash of the Elysium, a theatrical collaboration between audience and Punchdrunk, the inspirational immersive theatre group! There is every chance you will find something to suit your taste.
Tatton Park’s RHS Show

The best floral show in Northern England, the RHS flower show will amaze with important plant collections and flowers from the UK’s top nurseries, children’s gardens and a Young Garden Designer of the Year competition.

Ladies’ Day is not just about gardens, although you can join Fortnum and Mason’s exclusive private tours of the show prior to a cocktail party! It is also about dressing up, winning prizes and enjoying the latest in fashion at the many fashion shows taking place during the day.
