Celebrate your fabulous faces at the launch of Inside Out: This Is Manchester

We would like to welcome you and a guest to the launch of Inside Out: This is Manchester – an exhibition of all your fabulous faces printed large-scale in black and white and pasted onto the floor of The Undercroft.

Together, we can celebrate what we’ve created. Enjoy food and drink, chat with fellow participants and, of course, you’ll be able to collect the A4 printed copy of your portrait. Following on from these events, we are going to watch Kalabanté Productions: Afrique en Cirque and it's free to come along.

Please note the RSVP deadline for this event and for claiming your free circus tickets has now passed.

Inside Out: This is Manchester is part of The Welcome and runs from 11 to 19 November 2023.

The event takes place in The Undercroft at Aviva Studios. The full address of the venue is Aviva Studios, Water Street, Manchester, M3 4JQ and what3words ischop.feeds.chase.

Aviva Studios is a new purpose-built cultural space in the heart of Manchester. The entrance to our building is through double glass doors. There are automatic doors at both entrances.

Once inside, there is step-free access to all areas of the venue. You will arrive into the Social, a large public space where there are a range of seats (including those with arms), a bar and toilets (including accessible toilets).

The bars in the Social and Hall Foyer have lowered accessible service points.

The Hall entrance is by lift, escalator or stairs from one side of the Social beside the brick arches.

Accessible toilets are available at Aviva Studios.

There are toilets, including accessible toilets, in the brick arches at the back of the Social through the big silver doors.

The toilets are gender neutral which means you can use whichever arch entrance you want.

The accessible cubicles are in the same room as the standard cubicles. The accessible cubicles also have washbasins in them. The other handwashing facilities are shared by everyone.

If you need to bring an assistance dog to this event, please contact access@factoryinternational.org
