Go Wild About Birds with Manchester Museum throughout the February half-term.

Dive into a week of free, feathery fun with bird-themed hands-on craft activities, dance and performance.

It all gets underway with a colourful Bird Rave on Saturday 15 February from 11:00 am – 4:00 pm. And before you hit the dancefloor, you’ll be able to create your own bird costume in one of the workshops, running throughout the day. The Bird Rave dancers will perform at 2.15 pm and 3.30 pm and there will be a rave dance workshop at 2.45 pm.

There will also be a bird-spotting trail and make arts and craft workshops running throughout the half-term holiday. Plus, the RSPB will be dropping in on 15, 16, 18, 20, 22 and 23 February, to host even more fun activities and tell you all about your favourite birds.
