MCR Culture Awards 2022

We attended the Manchester Culture Awards on the 24th November for a night of fabulous food, awards and fun with other local creative organisations. The event was held at the Vermilion restaurant and featured the highest number of nominations since the awards first began in 2018, with 466 nominations across 13 categories.

The evening was hosted by Nazia Mogra alongside three young hosts Hans Wiener, Ahtasham Akhtar and Kao Hove. We were nominated in 2 categories: ‘Promotion of Health and Well-being’ & ‘Promotion of Culture and Education’ – the first was awarded to The Edge and the latter to MADE.
