Join us for our digital Bonfire Night!
Bonfire Night is just around the corner, and this year we’re going bigger and better than ever! ✨
Join us for a dazzling evening of lights, music, stories and Manchester spirit, as the iconic city-centre venue transforms Europe’s largest digital ceiling into a spectacular celebration for all the family.
Taking place on 5th November, the free event will begin at 4.30pm, with a display of Manchester’s stars from your nominations, see below for more details of how to enter!
Following the star display, families can join the festivities as there will be two cosy story time sessions at 5pm and 5:45pm with BBC Radio One and former CBBC presenter Katie Thistleton and children’s favourite Hacker T Dog! Each child will receive light-up headphones to enjoy the sessions in a dedicated chill-out zone.
Printworks’ iconic digital ceiling will take centre stage in between each story session for two firework displays.
The first is a dedicated SEN friendly display at 5:20pm replacing the traditional loud noises with incredible visual effects, offering a more accessible and welcoming way for families to enjoy.
The main fireworks and music experience will follow at 6:15pm!
The festivities will continue until 7pm with a live choir, extending the celebration after the final firework display.
Throughout the night there will also be a pop-up dessert cart with a selection of free treats, from brownies, blondies, stuffed cookies, Bonfire Night-inspired sweet treats and more. Barney’s Coffee will be serving an autumn drinks menu with seasonal favourites!

From Classroom Dreams to Digital Reality
Printworks has been transformed into an under the sea utopia, with designs from 20 year old student Emily Jane White, whose amazing work now lights up Europe’s largest digital ceiling.
Emily, a Ravensbourne University London student studying Illustration for Communication, has won Printworks’ nationwide student art competition, which invited young creatives to reimagine the 1,000m² digital ceiling with an Under the Sea theme.
Her vibrant design delves deep to the ocean floor with popping pastel colours, cute clownfish, jiggling jellyfish and more, making you feel like you’ve entered into an under the sea storybook.
The design was unveiled this week as a fully animated, immersive experience with synchronised sound and motion.
Coming into her final year of university, Emily is passionate about turning her illustrative creativity into a career.
The judging panel was led by Manchester-based artist Laura Frances Heitzman, whose own artwork has previously been showcased on Printworks’ gigantic ceiling.
Emily’s winning artwork will be on display over the next month, giving visitors the chance to experience the wonders of the sea in her eye-catching illustrative style right in the heart of Manchester.
