For seventeen days, 30th June – 16th July 2011 the Not Part Of festival takes over Manchester, hosting days and nights in a variety of venues around the city centre.
Imagine a cider in the hand on a hazy summers day (or drizzle, it is Manchester after all), watching up and coming artists give you a tantalising sample of their talents. Last summer saw over 100 individual events take place across the the city.
We are here to celebrate Manchester’s grassroots arts community. This city isn’t the caricature of swaggering parkas and cobbled streets; we are a hub of creative ingenuity and the Not Part Of festival is proud to provide the stage for a highly eclectic range of performers.
