I was thinking of going to some of these events, if anyone else fancied going? I won't be on the bike - she's going away for the winter shortly (I know, I know! I used to laugh at 'fairweathers'!!) and I wondered if just in general they might be of interest on here?

The only one I might not go to is the Nosferatu thing as I'm out that night. I was thinking of suggesting bonfire night, too...

  I quite like the *sound of a silent halloween movie with atmospheric piano. Tis shame I is permanently skint. *No pun intended lol.   I notice there are no prices for these events, Sal, are they free entry?                                                                                                                                                                              

Yeah, they are :)  John Rylands is a terrific library - gothic and atmospheric, so it would be quite creepy :)                                                                                                                                                                              

culture and manchester in the same sentence???                                                                                                                                                                              

Plenty going on here!                                                                                                                                                                                

  Double buggerations, it's free and I live miles away from it                                                                                                                                                                                   

ay i know surprise they havent turned John Rylands Library into flippin apartments! lol though it is fabulously gothic!                                                                                                                                                                             

Liverpool was *city of culture* not too long ago kwakgirl, so I suppose us Mancs must be really cultured.(ex Manc too aren't you?)   The one that would interest me most Sal would be Pendle Witches one, quite fascinating all that stuff.                                                                                                                                                                             

Ah yes, the Demdike Brood - quite misunderstood methinks!!!                                                                                                                                                                              

Few of us in here who would have ended up on the ducking stool if we'd been born in the 17th century!
