The Revolution Manchester Show

Join our expert Explainers for an action-packed show that tells the story of how science met industry right here in Manchester, building our world and shaping our lives today.

Expect explosions and flying as you discover Manchester's role as a nerve centre of the Industrial Revolution. Be amazed by the power of steam as you learn how it powered cotton factories and transport on the world's first passenger and goods railway. Find out how Manchester continues to drive change, from computing to cutting edge scientific research.


Please note: show times may be subject to change. Speak to a member of staff on the day of your visit for further information.
