Joy Diversion

The first Joy Diversion took place on the 19th May 2018 and we return to celebrate its 7th birthday.

Calling all ramblers, explorers and meanderers. Surveyors, cartographers and inquisitors. People who look up to the rooftops and down in the culverts - The Wandering Returns

Join us for a day of mapping, exploring and wandering in Central Manchester and Salford.

Viewed as a functional place of work, retail and leisure, our city bounded by Trinity Way, Great Ancoats Street and the Mancunian Way is imbued with history, iniquity, celebration and endeavour. Let us go out and find what's out there, discover the forgotten spaces, create stories and map our city.

This is not a guided tour - this is an adventure

Propose adventures to unchartered territories, revisit previously known places, strange meanderings and any other diversions you fancy.

You will need:

• Yourself
• Comfortable walking shoes or whatever you need to get around
• Weather appropriate clothing) hopefully sun cream rather than waterproofs!)
• Water

 Joy Diversion is free, but please do bring along biscuits and cake if you fancy :)
