Manchester Food and Drink Festival Setup, City Centre Square

3 October 2019 · Manchester

Festival infrastructure takes over Exchange Square in Manchester — white event tents, steel barriers, and bold signage for the Manchester Food and Drink Festival stacked against the glass facade of the Urbis building and the city skyline beyond. A single pedestrian cuts through the entrance route under a flat overcast sky. The temporary structures hold their ground against the permanent city behind them: one built to last, one built to feed people for a fortnight.
