About this Event

Join us for a jam-packed day of inspiring talks, hands-on science activities, creative sessions, performances, heritage tours, and the chance to meet with our staff, students and community partners.

With over 60 interactive community fair stalls there’s something for everyone! From poetry to physics, music to medicine and computing to creative writing, there’s loads to discover and do – with activities on offer for all ages.

Together we’ll explore what makes for a greener, healthier and fairer world for everyone.

Uncover the mysteries of the human body from top to toe as we take a closer look at our hands, hearts and minds. Step into a world of virtual reality and play with our robot friends. Learn the art of calligraphy and get crafty as we explore what makes each of us special and different.

Pop along to our university community allotment, plant sunflower seeds and find out how biodiversity helps to keep our air healthy.

And then there’s our ever-popular where you can expect fantastic colour changes, flashes and the occasional bang - get ready to hold on to your hats!

Our Universally Manchester Festival is taking place on our Oxford Road campus and is free and open to everyone.
