If buying a ticket isn’t possible for you but you’d love to come, we have some free tickets, please email engage@royalexchange.co.uk with your request or if you have any questions. Parents and friends are welcome to attend too if you don’t want to come alone.

FURTHER INFORMATION 

Comfortable seating will be available with sofas and bean bags around the venue; and there will be live music from young musicians local to Greater Manchester

There will be a designated quiet space located away from the main hub, in case anybody feels they need a moment away from the action. Additionally, colour coded wristbands will be an available to let others know if you’re comfortable socialising with others or if you would rather remain independent throughout the event, depending on the colour you are wearing.

We don’t want anyone to stress about a dress code, or for it to be restricting or limiting in any way, so we actively encourage you to turn up in your most comfortable clothing (even pyjamas/onesies are welcome!)

We look forward to welcoming you to the event!
