Manchester Netwalk: Mancunian Celebrations

Theme of this netwalk

Over the centuries, crowds of excited Mancunians have gathered to welcome visiting heroes, to celebrate historic moments such as coronations and the end of war, and to share pride in the city, its people and its achievements.

This netwalk explores what and who the people of Manchester turned out to celebrate and - in some cases - more solemnly commemorate.

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 in Albert Square, near The Fountain House

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.

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.
