There are scheduled events running throughout Friday, Saturday and Sunday with a number of ‘drop-in’ events that can be joined anytime.

Learn Mandarin

Our friends at the Manchester Confucius Institute are offering a variety of Mandarin courses. Lessons take place Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 5 to 26 July with experienced native Chinese teachers. Available levels range from beginner to post-intermediate. For more advanced students, the Institute also offers a five week Advanced HSK 5 course during the summer to allow you to continue your studies. This runs on Sunday mornings, from 4 July to 1 August. For more information and to enrol, please visit the Confucius Institute website.
