Manchester is the place for music, and this summer, while the city celebrates an incredible line up of musical talent, the team behind Bee in the City, will take over the streets with Music for the Senses: an art arrangement for a musical city.

A collaboration between global art producer Wild in Art, and Manchester City Council, Music for the Senses will run from 7 July – 31 August 2025.

Many of the artworks, exhibitions and installations that celebrate Manchester’s music scene will be formed from guitars, and an amnesty is now open for the people of Manchester to contribute instruments, whether they be new, old, broken or revered, to become part of the trail.

We are now inviting businesses, artists and schools to register their interest in getting involved in this creative and impactful initiative.
