Nta Award-winning Actress Katie Mcglynn And International Dj E.m.a Return With House Of Kooky For Two Nights At Manchester Pride
Following the success of its debut event earlier this month, House of Kooky is back – and this time it’s taking over Manchester Pride weekend for two nights. Created by NTA Award Winning actress Katie McGlynn, international DJ and producer E.M.A, House of Kooky launched at Velvet Manchester Events with a packed dancefloor, feel-good house music and an atmosphere that quickly established the event as a colourful new addition to Manchester’s nightlife scene. After the response to the launch party, House of Kooky is now returning to Velvet Events for its biggest weekend yet, with two late-night parties on Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th August, from 10pm–3am, as part of Manchester Pride celebrations.

The Legacy of LS Lowry
In this special final collaboration video with @TheLowry Belinda and Mark head to the LS Lowry exhibition to explore the incredible work of one of Britain’s most beloved painters. L.S. Lowry is one of the most popular British painters of all time, and Manchester and Salford have a particularly special connection to his life and work. The Lowry is now the home to the world’s biggest public collection of LS Lowry’s work, and his distinctive paintings continue to capture the character, people and landscapes of the region. Lowry spent more than 40 years living and working in and around Salford, and his pictures still have a powerful connection with both local people and visitors to the city today. Join Belinda and Mark as they take a closer look at Lowry’s work, discover more about the man behind the paintings, and celebrate the fascinating artistic heritage of Greater Manchester. 👉 Watch now and let us know your favourite Lowry painting in the comments!
