Maybe it starts with a brew that never gets finished, a laugh shared under the rain, or a stranger who turns into someone you can't imagine life without.
For moments like these, a city is built. From voices like these, a story begins.
The Home We Made is a brand-new piece of theatre that throws open Manchester's front door and invites you in.
Created with HOME from HOME community groups and local artists, it's a celebration of belonging, of the bonds that grow between neighbours, friends, and strangers who choose to stand side by side.
On stage, a house rises from the stories we share.
Brick by brick, laugh by laugh, memory by memory, it fills with everything that makes this city legendary; warmth, grit, humour, heart. While Manchester grows taller, its roots run deeper.
Come and see what happens when a city builds a home together.
