The popular Sunday Social returns on Sunday 9 April 2017.

Manchester Metropolitan University host us in their new Benzie Building, home to Manchester School of Art. The location for the meal is the fourth floor reception space, with access to the roof terrace (click here for 360° photo) and stunning views over the campus and the city of Manchester.

Registration, drinks reception and networking start at 18:30 and run through to 22.30. During this time students from the School of Art will be conducting guided tours of the building, showing off the impressive vertical gallery, workshop areas, and displays of work from current students, and answering questions along the way.

The sit-down meal will be followed by the AUA Quiz giving you the opportunity to show off their in-depth knowledge of trivia in an effort to avoid winning the coveted wooden spoon!
