Announcing futureMANCHESTER 2011

Tue, 04/10/2011 - 12:07 — claire_merci

Following on from the success of last year's inaugural festival of sustainability, MERCi will again be coordinating futureMANCHESTER this year, and the week-long festival will run from 25th November to 2nd December.

The aim of the festival is to showcase all the excellent work around sustainability that is going on in the city, to celebrate our achievements, and to challenge, inform and delight the people of Manchester.

MERCi would like to invite you and your organisation to be part of the futureMANCHESTER festival of sustainability and to programme an event that takes place within that week. Anything that promotes sustainable living can be included – talks, conferences, workshops, film screenings, tours, meetings, bike rides, gardening clubs, allotment events, volunteering days – anything that takes your fancy.

We will be promoting the festival extensively around the city and will be producing a leaflet listing all the events, so this is a great opportunity to get some extra publicity and to promote the work of your organisation.

If you would like your event to be included please contact Katie by Friday 14th October on 0161 273 1736 or katieb@merci.org.uk
