A message from Dave Moutrey, our Director & CEO:
In light of the Government’s latest advice for people to avoid non-essential contact, we have taken the decision to close HOME to the public as of tomorrow (Tuesday 17th March).
Following Monday’s government announcement, HOME is now working towards reopening in line with step 4 of the roadmap to ease lockdown. At present this is planned for 17 May. 1/4
We'd like to say a huge sorry to everyone we mistakenly emailed overnight about our sponsor a bee campaign - we had a technical error that didn't compromise any data, but has caused us huge embarrassment. We're so sorry for all the confusion!
We're pleased to announce that we have received a further £375,000 from the Government’s Cultural Recovery Fund.

We’re pleased to welcome the announcement of the Government’s support package. It is a clear signal of the importance of arts and culture to UK life and will play a vital part in the reopening of our cultural institutions. Read our full statement here:
So we've seen the proposed film programme for when we reopen on 4 September and guys - It's. So. Good. That's all we can say for now, but rest assured, there's an announcement coming soon...
The news from Cineworld and Odeon highlights just what a challenging time this is for cinemas, and our hearts go out to all their staff who have been affected. At HOME we are fortunate that we do not rely on blockbusters to attract our core audience... (1/2)
In the first three hours of opening we had over 1,000 people come through our gallery doors, and the numbers are growing! If you didn't make it tonight, the open runs until the 29th March featuring 500+ Greater Manchester artists.
We're incredibly excited to announce the first details of our reopening programme, kicking off Mon 19 May, including two new exhibitions, a programme of film releases including 3 Best Picture Oscar nominees & a new film season exploring filmmaking on film👉
It's

SO, buy a tkt (£7.50)
@HOME_mcr
they give you an option to donate £3. They DOUBLE that to £6 and every year they give 2000 free cinema tkts to folk who can’t afford it. That’s £10.50 in all from us. Still cheaper than most large chains.
ALL. CINEMAS. SHOULD. DO. THIS
Cinemas in England, Scotland & Wales can reopen on Monday, but independent chains say restrictions will mean they’ll have to keep their doors shut 🍿📽️
