Events at The University of Manchester
Telescope Walking Tours
We’ll be hosting our popular Telescope Walking Tours daily from 5 July to 5 August, 2020. You can join one of our friendly Explainers as they take you for a walk around the base of the impressive Lovell Telescope. You’ll explore its amazing history and discover some of its ground-breaking research. Walking Tours last about 45 minutes, will take place indoors if wet, and are available on a drop-in basis.
Art Basket
Are you and your family hungry to get creative? Pick up a picnic basket with a difference.
Come to our Oxford Road or Parkside entrance and pick up one of our special baskets—free and available at any time during gallery opening hours, daily from 31 May to 31 August, 2020. Pack your basket full of art materials and head off to our galleries. Come back later, and we’d love to see what you’ve clone.
