Welcome the Year of the Horse during an evening of friendship and celebration at Manchester Museum

Lunar New Year is not only a festival celebrated in China but also in several Asian countries, including Korea and Vietnam.

This year, the museum’s celebrations will include a wider range of cultural elements, including a series of exciting performances. These will include a lion dance and a collaboration with the Hong Kong Plucked String Chinese Orchestra.

Visitors can also enjoy hands-on workshops in traditional arts and crafts, and much more.
