Sunday meal

We went to home for an early evening meal. Everything was average, nothing outstandingly good. There was 5 adults in the eating so it was a good cross menu selection. As I said before everything was average nothing special.

Home Manchester – A great hub showcasing modern art What is Home Manchester? Home is a modern art space in the heart of Manchester. It includes a number of Gallery spaces, a cinema, theatres, a café and a restaurant. They hold a varied programme of Art Exhibitions each year highlighting a number of key issues to the public such as Science, Climate Change, Animals, Home, Poverty and more.] Current Exhibitions As part of their Spring 2023 programme there are currently 3 different exhibitions and they are as follows: Nick Jordan: Natural Interaction Chris Paul Daniels: Is there anybody there? Parham Ghalamdar: Painting, An Unending Nick Jordan: Natural Interaction Natural Interaction is an exhibition that explores the interdependencies between healthcare and social wellbeing. It looks at health conditions with symbiotic systems that are found in nature. The Exhibition emphasises these issues in different ways including drawings and sculptures. It also features a series of films which are: Rare Frequencies Genetic Sequences The Entangled Forest This was an excellent exhibition as the artwork beautifully highlighted these important issues through the use of forests, botanical gardens and woodlands. They are full of detail and they transport you to that environment. The mushroom spore prints as a family tree and the green house were also incredible and unique. How Nick uses objects to connect with the issues of green spaces and climate change is something that is done immaculately with a lot of detail and thought. Chris Paul Daniels: Is there anybody there? This artistic film explores notion of individual and collective memory, how it is created, by whom and whose stories, identities and cultures are missing. It is a film that is thought provoking that is not showcased in a chronological order which can make you thinks but also can make you feel dizzy. It was also accompanied by a lovely musical score. Parham Ghalamdar: Painting, An Unending This Exhibition was exquisite to watch as the artist used different ways to create his drawings which included oil, ceramics and animation. His art is from the heart in which you are instantly connected to his ideas of politics, community, identity and migration. The highlights of this exhibition was the tent in a 15th Century Fresco and the vases featured in the 11th Century poems of Omar Khayyam. The way that he uses colour and objects together to create his art is effortless and he creates a scene that is eye catching to look at. Entry Entry to the Gallery spaces are free and you do not need to book online. For the cinema and theatre then booking online or via phone is necessary. Facilities Home Manchester has a café that serves a great selection of hot and cold drinks. There is also a good variety of food on offer too. There are toilets at the venue too. Lighting and Access The lighting in the Gallery spaces were decent to which you could see the paintings and sculptures however the Is there anybody there film video was in a dark room in order to create an ambience that is similar to a cinema room. There are no steps to enter the building. Most of the Gallery space is on the ground floor which makes things easy as there are no stairs or lifts needed. There are stairs or lifts to access the other facilities on the other floors. Parking Home Manchester has its own parking at the back of the building which is multi-storey. You will need to take a ticket and pay for the parking. This is also the case for Blue Badge holders. Alternatively you can park elsewhere that is pay and display which is free for those with a Blue Badge. If you love looking at art that is modern, innovative and contemporary then Home Manchester is the place for you.

HOME Theatre Manchester is a fabulous, 'buzzy' cultural space, interesting both to visit and experience. I was here to see "I Daniel Blake," Dave Johns' impactful stage adaptation of Ken Loach's film. During his Great Purge of 1937-8, Stalin personally authorised the deaths of some 44,000 of his opponents. It was a managerial process to be completed. I've always thought that Mrs Thatcher (a good housekeeper in her own estimation) regarded the dismantling of the UK state's social and economic safety net in the same way. Both focused on their perceived greater good, not the consequences of their actions. But criminal acts, even those not deemed 'criminal' in law, have tragic human consequences. "I Daniel Blake" sets out what followed on from Mrs Thatcher's beginnings. We should all care about the injustice of that, especially when, as here, it is brought indelibly to life. I have nothing but praise for this production. I am glad I saw it.

Saw Kathy and Stella Solve a Murder yesterday afternoon. Brilliant show from start to finish thoroughly enjoyed every minute. The venue is great as has really good atmosphere and facilities.

The cinema was absolutely brilliant, big comfy seats with your own armrests and cup holders. There was only room for about 25-30 people but the screen was a really good size. And they offer the ability to rent the space. The only reason they don't get 5 stars is that I felt the drink selection was quite limited

Excellent vegetarian food in the restaurant. We had the vegan pizza and Korean fried chicken (plant based) with drinks. Delicious and awesome atmosphere.
