Manchester Netwalk: Manchester Outcasts

Theme of this netwalk

On a guided walk exploring the city, hear a selection of tales from Manchester’s history of those who were snubbed, rejected, abused or dismissed, whether because of their gender, sexuality, class, race or health.

Discover how individuals and communities triumphed despite their treatment, and how their achievements have since been - or are yet to be - recognised.

This netwalk marks LGBTQ History Month in February 2023.

Who are these netwalks for?

Business professionals who are interested in Manchester history, and like informal networking. Suitable whether you know the city very well or not at all.

Guests often work in law, accountancy, banking, property, marketing etc in the city and beyond.

Where and when?

Meet outside The Salisbury Pub, near Oxford Road Station.

The walk starts at 12.30pm and ends at 1.30pm but I’ll be there from 12.15pm for anyone who wants to fit in some networking before we start.

Practical details

Netwalks go ahead in all weathers, so please dress for the weather and a walk around town.

The walk has limited places so that guests can maintain comfortable distances, so please only book if you are able to come.

This walk includes some cobbles and steps, but if this is a concern, get in touch and I’ll arrange a suitable route.

If you have COVID or COVID-symptoms, please do not attend.

Please let me know if you do not wish your name and company name to appear on a list of attendees.

The event does not include lunch.
