Our beloved campus pub has pulled it out of the bag again…
The Salutation Pub sits in the heart of All Saints campus, hosting everything from traditional pub quizzes and photography exhibitions to live Irish music sessions and academic panel discussions. We shine a spotlight on our favourite local, bringing new energy to our campus.
THE SALLY SESSIONS
If you’re a music lover, don’t miss The Sally Sessions! Launched over summer with Slack City MCR, this new series of live broadcasts from The Salutation is inspired by Brighton’s Slack City Social and hosted by musician and writer John Robb and DJ Hannah O’Gorman. The sessions feature lively conversations with key figures from Manchester’s music scene, connecting well-known icons with rising stars and providing a platform for student musicians, poets and artists to share their work. The Sally Sessions #2 takes place on Saturday 26th October, with special guest appearances by Bruce Mitchell, the legendary drummer from the post-punk band The Durutti Column, and OneDa, named by The Face as one of the key MCs at the forefront of the drum ‘n’ bass renaissance.
BUNKER TALKS
The Bunker Talks series offers a deep dive into the world of art, performance and research. Curated by the Performance Research Group at Manchester School of Art, Bunker Talks explore geopolitical, ecological or economic concerns, creating a space for critical encounters, presentations, provocation and dialogue. Originally conceived in the pandemic to explore how artists, writers, curators and researchers continued to make and share their work, live Bunker Talks now take place at The Salutation every month. In 2024, the talks continue to inspire with upcoming sessions featuring artist and designer Andrew Ibi, the boundary-pushing theatre company Chronic Insanity, and award-winning multidisciplinary performance maker Melanie Wilson.
