The Life Friendly Collective present:

3 days without water

Water is vital to life: we depend on it for our survival. Yet we pollute it, disrupt it, waste it and fear it. 3 Days Without Water examines our relationship with water and its dynamic properties which can be both life enhancing and destructive.  

Works include a water garden, sound installation and live events.

A Manchester Smell Walk
Friday 24th August, 1 - 2pm: meet 3 Piccadilly Place

Manchester has its fair share of water. From the waterways of Canal Street, Piccadilly Gardens' Fountain Plaza, the mini water features dotted around the city and, you guessed it, the rain, water has a major impact on the city's sensory landscape. But what influence does Manchester's water have on the SMELL OF THE CITY? Here's your chance to find out, with an hour-long smell walk around some of the local odour hotspots led by Dr Victoria Henshaw from Manchester University. Remember to wear sensible shoes and dress for the weather!

No need to book, just turn up at 1pm.
