Today we're open 06:30 - 02:00
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!
