To coincide with the world premiere of Edna O'Brien's HAUNTED, starring Brenda Blethyn and Niall Buggy, the Exchange is hosting the Manchester Irish Festival photography exhibition called ‘From Mayo to Manchester’ by the Award winning Young, Gifted & Green director Tony Hennigan. This specially commissioned exhibition is a retrospective look at the wild and beautiful landscape of Mayo taking in the beaches of Enniscrone and Lakin, along with the lakes and Mountains of Attymass and the surrounding areas. This is contrasted with the vibrancy and colour of Manchester’s annual Irish Festival with shots documenting some of its numerous events and organisations.
