Arts & exhibitions in Manchester at a glance

Our Manchester calendar has 1 listing under arts & exhibitions: 1 whose next dates are not yet announced. Every listing links to its organiser, so check opening times and tickets there before you travel.

This is a short list so far. For more choice, see arts & exhibitions across the UK (45 listings) or everything on in Manchester.

When they happen

The busiest month for arts & exhibitions here is October, counting each month an event runs in. Months for listings without confirmed dates come from the organiser's usual timing, so treat them as a guide.

What our Manchester guide says about those seasons:

Autumn (September to November)
Quieter streets, and a busy programme at theatres, concert halls and the music venues.
