The Imaginarium Comes to Manchester as Part of GM Live Well Spring Festival

A new pop-up civic space designed to spark imagination and community action is coming to Manchester this March as part of the GM Live Well Spring Festival.

The Imaginarium will take place on Thursday 19th March, 11am–3pm at Julie Mrozek Community Centre, Chorlton. The free, drop-in event invites residents, community groups, partners and local leaders to come together to imagine how thriving neighbourhoods across Greater Manchester can flourish — and explore how to make those ideas real.

Delivered by Wellbeing Enterprises CIC in partnership with People’s Powerhouse and DoWith, The Imaginarium reflects the spirit of the GM Live Well Spring Festival: celebrating community strengths, collaboration and collective action across the region.

The event will create an open, creative space for conversation and connection. There is no formal agenda and no booking required - just an opportunity to share ideas, meet others and think differently about the future of local communities.

Mark Swift , CEO Founder of Wellbeing Enterprises CIC said: "The Imaginarium is about creating space to dream about how our communities can flourish - and starting to shape that future together. Everyone has something to contribute, and this is where those ideas can grow".

Wellbeing Enterprises CIC has worked alongside communities for more than 20 years, supporting people and places to build healthier, more connected futures. The Imaginarium continues that work by creating a space where imagination meets action.

The event is open to everyone.
