What's On

The Alliance Française de Manchester brings you the best of the French-speaking world through cultural and social events, and through our onsite French library.

Our year-round programme explores a wide variety of topics so you can discover the latest trends or explore the fascinating cultural heritage linked to the French language.

From our monthly French Book Club and partnerships with Manchester Central Library, Manchester Film Weekender in Altrincham and Little French Cinema in Oldham for screenings of films in French, to exhibitions, talks or social gatherings, there is something for everyone and everybody is welcome to join.
