SICK! Festival

About

SICK!

Festival is a North Manchester-based arts organisation that has transitioned from a biennial festival model to a year-round creative movement. The organisation uses performance, participation and collective care to centre lived experiences of health, inequality and identity, with programming structured around theme strands including Presentations, Social Prescribing and Creative Pathways.

The organisation offers inclusive, artist-led sessions designed to build confidence, spark connection and support mental wellbeing. It works with local communities and global partners to deliver commissions, workshops and creative participation opportunities that position audiences as creators and emphasise skills development and shared influence over programming decisions.
