The Manchester Zoom Tour Series
Now you can enjoy the story of the city and its extraordinary characters and buildings without leaving your home. Or even your bed.
These tried and tested Zoom tours are a way to get under the skin of the city and really learn what makes it tick as image after image pops up on your screen. They will be informative, funny and moving, with question and answer sessions following the tours. Some of the images you will see have never been presented before in print or digitally. There'll even be music.
So how will these unique tours work?
It's simple. Buy a ticket for the tour you want to be part of and I'll get an email alert. I will then send a secure invitation. The good news is that even if you can't make the live broadcast, then the presentation will be recorded so you can visit it, or revisit it, as many times as you want. The sessions will last an hour, although if people want to ask lots of questions they might last an hour and half, but of course nobody will be obliged to stay a minute longer than they wish.
If you buy the 6 for £25 deal then I'll reply with instructions on how to sign up for the Zoom tours you wish to join. I want to make these as simple as possible so just email me the tours you want to join. If you could give me at least two days notice before the tour date that would be appreciated.
The session times will be on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6.30pm and Saturdays at 5pm.
I will send out invitations 24 hours before the session.
