The Nico Ditch in Ashton host a new exhibition celebrating the importance of the Haçienda. ‘The Hacienda Must Be Built’ explores the venue’s place as the centre of the Acid House movement, the ravers, collectors, photographers and performers who made it and why it’s essential to use the ethos and spirit to create a new movement. The exhibition features the energetic images of legendary photographer Peter J Walsh, as well as original posters, prints and plans from collectors. There’s artwork by artists inspired by the era, TV shows, archival memorabilia and music.
