Manchester’s Hope Mill Theatre will launch a three-week festival in Ancoats this summer, Hope Fest, from July 16 to August 8.
It will take place inside a large theatre tent which will accommodate 250, based beside New Islington Tram Station (one stop from Piccadilly Station) on the junction between Pollard and Great Ancoats streets.
It offers family theatre, comedy, music, plays and musical theatre as well as one-off special community events.
