The Annotated Reader is a unique exhibition of writing displayed at Castlefield Gallery. The collection features almost 300 responses and handwritten annotations on a chosen piece of writing.

For the exhibition, a range of people including artists, designers, writers and musicians were asked to imagine they’ve missed the last train. The clever exhibition displays their fascinating written responses.

When you visit the exhibition, you can collect the pages on display to create your  own ‘Annotated Reader’. Alternatively, you can also purchase a USB containing the entire set of writing from a special vending machine for £5.00.
