Sunday Funday – Manchester Day 2026
We’re celebrating Manchester Day at Central Library!
This year’s Manchester Day celebrates our city’s cultural links with Barcelona. Following Manchester’s appearance at Barcelona’s La Mercè festival in 2025, artists from the city will return the visit. Alongside the international line-up, this year’s event also includes a book-inspired theme.
So, obviously we’re ALWAYS ready to celebrate reading at Central Library. Join us as book characters come to life!
Take a magical journey to Narnia, take a ride in the glass lift (or elevator!) with Willy Wonka, and avoid being recruited by Captain Hook to walk the plank!
Free entry – please drop in (face painting: £2 per child)
Please make a donation to support our Library Live cultural programme at one of our cash or contactless donation boxes or online
