Wild Researchers Night

Wednesday 25 September 2024, 6pm - 8:30pm. Location: Manchester Museum, the University of Manchester, Oxford Road.

To celebrate the 60th anniversary of our Vivarium, 25 years of conservation work and our Wild exhibition, come join us for an evening showcasing wonderfully wild research happening in Manchester and beyond.

Take part in a range of fun activities at our researcher stations, have a seat and listen to our short talk series or get a closer look at the animals our Vivarium has been working hard to conserve.

A wide variety of researchers across science, humanities and the arts will be at the evening presenting exciting wild research in areas including conservation, land rights, sustainability and animal behaviour. Additionally, meet the incredible people from local groups, such as Ardwick Climate Action and Treescapes, who are working hard to protect and engage people with nature locally in Manchester.

You’ll have the chance to meet and hear from researchers from the University of Manchester, University of Salford, Manchester Metropolitan University, Chester Zoo, RSPB and more.
