Friday Social (Bookings are now Closed):

Pre-Conference Social 6pm BrewDog Manchester Outpost – 144 Oxford Road, Manchester M13 9GP (below the Hyatt Hotel).

It’s been too long. Start off your Conference weekend by meeting old friends or making new ones at an exclusive meet-up including special faculty guests in BrewDog Manchester Outpost from 6pm.

If you’re new to conference this year, or just mindful that you don’t know anyone who is coming, then this is a great opportunity to meet lots of new people, some of whom may be in the same boat as you, ready for the weekend ahead! Make yourself known at reception and our team will ensure that you soon feel part of the welcoming world of children’s illustrators and writers.

This is a chance to catch up with old friends and make new ones in an informal setting.

 

Tickets are priced at £20 with food and one drink included. Unfortunately, we are not able to accommodate walk ups for this part of the Friday Fringe and bookings are now closed.
