Activities for all!
We are busy prepping for our fantastic Family Activity Day this Saturday 30th April! These colouring sheets will be going through the printer tomorrow and we have lots of gorgeous pens, pencils and crayons for you to unleash your creative potential.
You can also try your hand at calligraphy, and our wonderful bookbinding friends will be coming along to demonstrate techniques and help you make your very own book to take home.
In addition to all this, there’ll be the chance to wander round the Library and medieval buildings, sit at the desk used by Karl Marx, see the devil’s hoofprint conjured up by John Dee, or imagine yourself as a priest walking along the stone cloisters.
We’re open from 11am until 3pm and you can drop in any time and stay as long as you like. Don’t miss out – book a place here and bring your family and friends along to see one of Manchester’s hidden gems!
