Stir to Action is leaving the marquee in a field and taking its annual festival north for two days of panels, workshops, local DJs, and food!

Stir to Action are holding the 5th Annual Playground for the New Economy Festival at Stretford Public Hall in Manchester on 19-20 May. 

Join practitioners and figures from the new economy and prepare to be challenged and inspired by another unique and diverse line-up of contributors, all offering provocative ideas about, and innovative alternatives to, the current political and economic landscape.

After the sessions finish, auxiliary events will be held at nearby locations, and sure to keep the festival vibe going into the evening hours.

Special mention to this year’s festival sponsors: Greater Manchester Combined Authority, Power to Change, Joseph Rowntree Foundation, Architectural Heritage Fund, Lankelly Chase, Co-operative Councils Innovation Network, and Co-operative & Community Finance.
