Matriarchal Meet Up!

A safe space for the women of Greater Manchester to meet and discuss all things female!

Ahead of our show 'MOTHERLOGUES', we want to collate the stories of the women of Manchester in order to create the show. This session will be an opportunity for local women to meet, discuss, share, laugh, cry, empathise, learn, engage with other women from all walks of life as we delve into the Matriarchy of Manchester!

Its completely free to attend and you can share as much or as little as you'd like! There is no obligation to "entertain" - please just come, sit and be.

And if you have a babe in arms, please do bring them along! Although be aware that some topics of conversation are not suitable for young audiences.

Shine Emerging Artist Programme

The SHINE programme aims to nurture and develop new talent, giving artists the opportunity to exhibit or perform new work at 5 of the LUTN festivals (Light Night Leeds, Lightwaves at Salford Quays, Enchanted Parks in Gateshead, Light Up Lancaster and LightPool in Blackpool). Up to four artists or collectives will be awarded bursaries of up to £4,000 each to realise their new artwork. The artwork has to be suitable for a winter light festival, artistically challenging/interesting and of high quality, have a strong element of digital/technology within its design, and be resilient enough to withstand the winter weather at multiple festivals (September - December) and transportation across our festival network.
