It’s the most wonderful time of the year … Halloween! We make no bones about it, it’s our favourite holiday. So we’re taking a look at what The Printworks has to offer this spooky season.
Manchester Trick or Treat Trail
A creepy trail around the city centre, a spooky character waiting at each checkpoint… but will you get a trick or treat this Halloween?
Bring your family and friends to Manchester City Centre on the 26th and 27th October, pick up your map at the information point in Exchange Square and let the hunt begin.
Scattered across the city are special trick or treat houses with a ghoulish character waiting for you! Tick off each point (if you’re brave enough) and you’ll be destined to get a treat this Halloween.
But beware of the Monster Invasion! Look up and you’ll find a surprise planted beside the Printworks clock, remember to share your monster pics using #MCRMonsters
Trails will begin at 10am each day and will conclude at 6pm.

‘The Witching Way’ is an innovative new experience, combining the feel of a gig with a real coming-of-age story. The concept album is performed by a live band with animated visuals.
The main character, W, a teen witch, finds herself struggling with the perils of peer pressure and is transported to a cottage in an unfamiliar landscape.
The only way she can find her way home is to embark on a quest to reconcile with her past, overcome obstacles and find her voice!
