The Fête of Britain x Talkaoke, Manchester

February 25 @ 10:00 am - 5:00 pm

Talkaoke is joining a four-day celebration of collaboration and imagination in the face of the great challenges of our time, taking place in Manchester.

How can we face up to the challenges of the twenty-first century? How do we make the world safer, fairer and better for those we love and the place we call home?

From the climate crisis to the cost of living, nothing is off the table at The Fête of Britain. Take your seat and have your voice heard across four days of play, workshops, people’s assemblies, talks and performances.

The takeover at Aviva Studios is programmed by Hard Art – a movement of artists, musicians and others in the creative and cultural worlds including Brian Eno, Es Devlin and Jeremy Deller, who have teamed up to create a new culture of participation and positive change.

The programme brings together a mix of artists, performers and community groups and features contributions from artists Cornelia Parker, Jeremy Deller and Human Atlas, and journalist and presenter Jon Ronson. Music comes from Commoners Choir, hip hop star Louis VI and a night curated by LOWD Sound System. There’ll also be events from Empathy Museum, Starting Point Stockport and Salford Involve – plus plenty more to be announced soon.
