Join us to celebrate Beswick this summer!

We've teamed up with Handmade Productions, The East Manchester Academy and a host of local partners for a magical day of arts, creativity and fun.

The DREAM BIG BESWICK event will take place from 1pm at The East Manchester Academy, starting with the community parade and followed by a wonderfully whacky afternoon!

Join us to share your BIG DREAMS and enjoy:

·      The Handmade Parade celebration

·      Stilt walkers & giant puppets

·      Live music

·      Spray painting from Oskar with K

·      Food from Manchester Urban Growers

·      Puppetry and laughter yoga from Serious Laughter

·      Growing, planting and making

·      Arts and creative workshops

·      Dance, drumming and fitness

·      Much more!

The Handmade Parade will start at 1pm at The East Manchester Academy. Bring your friends, family and neighbours along. You won't want to miss this!

Get involved!

Handmade Productions are calling for residents to make costumes, headpieces and decorations to join their stilt walkers, giant puppets and artists.

We're also looking for volunteers!
