Who’s exhibiting at Design Festival North in Manchester 2024
Situ at The Alan
The Alan was born from a vision of wanting to do things differently. Something experimental, fresh and with an emphasis on partnerships between artists, chefs, designers and forward-thinkers.
It is a unique 6 storey setting with a pop up/mixed use space, ground floor restaurant/coffee/bar and 137 rooms. All accompanied by inspiring events and truly Mancunian collaborations.
SITU is situated on the lower ground of the Alan hotel. This industrial environment is the perfect setting for Design Festival North in Manchester.
