Radical Late – Thurs 9 August
Ideas worth fighting for have often been debated under the cover of darkness, in secret and away from prying eyes. Every second Thursday each month our galleries are open all evening for you to explore, with a regular programme of exciting and quirky happenings. To mark the 199th anniversary of the Peterloo Massacre in Manchester, come along on Thursday 9 August and meet the activists who champion today’s ideas worth fighting for. Meet campaign groups from across Greater Manchester and find out where and when they hold their meetings and protests, and what campaigns you can get involved in. This event will be presented in partnership with Manchester Histories, as a chance to find out how you can also shape the bicentenary commemorations of the Peterloo Massacre in 2019.

Bee in the City @ PHM
Wild in Art and Manchester City Council have brought Manchester’s communities together for Bee in the City, a stunning public art trail of over 200 individually designed bee sculptures. For the Little Bee trail over 30,000 school children and groups from across Greater Manchester designed their own bee sculptures; search for five of them on your bee hunt around PHM! Crafted by regional professional and emerging artists, the Big Bee trail is also weaving its way across the city until Sunday 23 September. The museum is buzzing to be hosting a very special purple, white and green Big Bee sponsored by UNISON Manchester and UNISON North West, going by the name of Sylvia Pankhurst – don’t miss her!
