The Tony Wilson Experience


At noon on 21 June some of the biggest names in design, creative industries, media and the arts will launch a 24 hour conversation and debate in the centre of Manchester in memory of broadcaster, cultural entrepreneur and creative champion, Anthony H Wilson.

Designed to stimulate, inspire and engage the next generation of cultural innovators, the event takes place in the Pavillion, Cathedral Gardens, with other related public access activities taking place in Urbis.

Big names taking part in the event include designer Peter Saville, actor Steve Coogan, artist Liam Spencer, musician Peter Hook, and writer and broadcaster Stuart Maconie.

An invited audience of up to 200 young creatives from Manchester will be selected by a panel of those involved in making the event happen.

Anyone wanting to be considered for a place should make a submission via the event website at www.tonywilsonexperience.com
