MAPS FESTIVAL
MAPS is the Northern Quarter’s new creative festival, to celebrate and showcase some of the best local talent in music, with art, poetry and performance included.
With 4 days, over 12 venues full of 200 bands, artists and dancers, MAPS promises to be one of the Summer’s best and truest local festivals.
Filling venues with fashion markets, burlesque dancers and face-painters as well as fantastic musical delights, we’re branching out onto the streets for a carnival with circus acts, fire-spinning and street busking.
