Bionic and The Wires

Join Bionic and the Wires for a unique performance where mushrooms and plants are given bionic arms to play musical instruments.

  • Booking essential

Join us for a sundown performance by Bionic and the Wires – Manchester UK based artists that connect bionic arms to mushrooms and plants so they can play instruments. Their music explores new ways of thinking about the natural world. This one-off performance is the finale of Bloomtown, Greater Manchester’s element of National Trust’s Festival of Blossom.

We are delighted to have Bionic and the Wires back on Castlefield Viaduct for the third year as part of Bloomtown. Part of the National Trust’s mission with this festival is to encourage people in urban spaces to notice and connect to the nature around them in new and exciting ways.
