Institutions open to the public at The University of Manchester
Open to the public
Many of our inspiring spaces, both on and off campus, are open for your enjoyment – including our cultural institutions.
We’re delighted to welcome local communities and international visitors to University sites across the region we’re proud to call home.
Whether you want to take in a musical performance, view works of art, explore library collections or learn about the night sky, we’ve got something to entertain, inform and spark new ideas.
If you simply wish to enjoy our beautiful green spaces, you can do so at Alan Gilbert Square, University Green and Brunswick Park, and many of our indoor facilities, spaces and events are also free to use.
