A pathway of light will illuminate 'iconic' locations in Manchester for a very special anniversary

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

The University of Manchester is set to mark the beginning of its 200th anniversary in a dazzling display of lights, poetry, and performances.

Throughout the year, the University will be celebrating its unique history, people, their incredible achievements and the impact they’ve made, in Manchester and around the world, in a year-long programme of events and activities.

This week, on Wednesday, January 17 from 6.24pm (18:24 representing the University's founding year), the university says a pathway of light will 'illuminate iconic places and spaces', bathed in the university's signature colour, purple, and will weave its way through locations on the campus and beyond.
