Marketecture hits the note for Manchester Jazz Festival
MediaCityUK-based integrated b2b agency, Marketecture has completed a brief to build a brand new website for the Manchester Jazz Festival which is celebrating its 20th festival this year.
For one weekend only – from Friday 4th to Sunday 6th December (11am – 4pm), the CBeebies Christmas Igloo will be located on the MediaCityUK Piazza and visitors will have the opportunity to come face-to-face with some of their favourite CBeebies stars, take part in Christmas arts and crafts and settle down for storytelling – all free of charge and no tickets required.
The very finest local food, drink, art, design and modern craft carefully selected from local artisans and businesses, will be brought to the city by the Makers Markets during the weekend (11am – 5pm daily) and there will also be special performances from The Salvation Army Brass Band (Friday 4th – 5pm-7pm) and the Stockport Citadel musicians, who will perform a selection of Christmas carols (Sunday 6th Dec 2-4pm).
