This summer the carnival comes to the Whitworth. Head down there’s something for all the family.

Music and colour will fill the gallery spaces, both indoors and out. There will be several carnival-themed activities inspired by the gallery’s current exhibition, Carnivalesque by John Lyons. Expect dressing-up, crafting, music-making, poetry and performance.
