BE A PART OF MANCHESTER’S URBAN FESTIVAL JOURNEY

Manchester has identified an opportunity to create a unique, inclusive festival that celebrates urban sports, street culture, music and art in the city.

The growth of urban sport and culture has been notable in recent years, the interplay of music, art, sport and culture in urban environments creates a rich tapestry of experiences that fosters community cohesion and celebrates diversity. Manchester and UK Sport believe that this seamless integration can serve to not only enhance the vibrancy of the city but also contribute to Manchester’s social and cultural resilience.

Manchester City Council, in partnership with Manchester Active and with support from UK Sport, is seeking to commission an agency, or consortium of industry-based professionals headed up by a nominated Lead Consultant, to move Manchester from having an aspiration in this space to defining a clear vision and concept for a festival of urban sport, art, music, and culture in the City, backed up by a detailed assessment of financial feasibility and concluding by mapping out a clear pathway from concept approval to delivery of a first iteration.
