The Great Indoors

Held in the stunning surroundings of Manchester Town Hall, The Great Indoors  was  two-day adventure curated by Rachel Clare and delivered an extraordinary array of activity as international artists took over the rooms and corridors of one of Manchester’s true treasures.

One of the great successes of the first Manchester International Festival in 2008, The Great Indoors  returned for a second round in 2009.
