Whether you’re missing the opportunity to get outside and snap pictures of the weird and wonderful fashion of Manchester or are really at a point where you’re just stuck for things to do and will happily do anything – why not tuck into some conversations about creativity?

You could end up going back to work with some brand spanking new (and amazing) ideas. Or maybe you’ll just reinvent your wardrobe while you’re stuck inside. I expect you’ll probably throw away all the pieces you’ll actually wear when we can resurface because you’re too chicken to pair yellow trousers with a green shirt.

The classes brought to everyone for free every day for 2 weeks at 5pm by Sarabande.
