On Thursday 14 May it’s nocturnal shenanigans with Manchester After Hours! This year’s mix of odd couplings and musical mayhem takes in the places and spaces you don’t often get to after dark, when museums, galleries, and libraries join together for a one-night, city-wide social.

MCDC are celebrating Manchester After Hours in style. Join us from 6-9pm for …

The launch of our two new exhibitions: ‘Mesmerised by Rosie Booth’ and Future Makers 2015

The opportunity to create a Rosie Booth-inspired LED box lantern with Gemma Latham and add it to a growing installation outside of the Centre to both decorate and delight

Meet some of our 30+ makers and do some late-night shopping in selected studios.

Experience a pop-up show by Manchester School of Art students, Katrina McLaughin and Iona Lewis

Drinks on us for the first 100 guests – one of whom will win a £10 MCDC gift voucher.

And finally, live music from local label Super Smash Hit Records:

6:30pm – Tekla

7:30 pm – Hot Shorts (acoustic)

8:30 pm – Songs for Walter

Entry is FREE – everyone welcome – no need to book!
