Manchester's Medieval Faire at the Rylands

About

Join the John Rylands Library for activities linked to Manchester's Medieval Faire 2026. Sessions will take place across the day, including short talks and a printing press demonstration. There will be a Collection Encounter between 2-3pm with a curator and a special close look at one of our Medieval books, how it was made, and its surprising connection to the ancient Greek world. Please note that there may be a queue to enter the Library. If you would like to join a specific event, please allow for enough time. Hosted in partnership with Chetham's Library, where you can continue your Medieval Manchester experience https://library.chethams.com/shows/medieval-faire/
