🌿✨ WALK ON THE WILDSIDE IS COMING TO OUR DOORSTEP! ✨🌿

We’re really looking forward to Walk on the Wildside taking place tomorrow and Wednesday, bringing a little more nature, wellbeing and community to the heart of Manchester! 💚

📅 TUESDAY 22ND & WEDNESDAY 23RD SEPTEMBER

With Nicholas Street and Tib Street hosting the main activities throughout the two days, there’ll be plenty to discover — from planting workshops and free bike checks to seeds & bulbs, quizzes and volunteering opportunities. 🌱🚲🌷

And there’s an extra reason to pop down to The Shakespeare… our street will be closed to traffic, making us even more of an escape from the hustle and bustle of the city! 🙌

So why not take a wander, explore the Wildside activities and then escape the city chaos with us on Fountain Street for a drink, some food and a little bit of Shakespearean hospitality? 🍻🌿

Whether you’re joining in with the activities or simply fancy a break from the busy city centre, we’ll be here to welcome you! 💚

📍 The Shakespeare, Fountain Street, Manchester City Centre

👉 Come and see what’s happening — and make a little time for yourself along the way!
