Events and Activities in Manchester

 

The Globe Café

If you are an international student in Manchester, you are warmly invited to the Globe Café, which is a meeting point for international students. For more information, email Sabine Stockton or click here. Free tea, coffee and snacks are served and there are games and cultural activities to enjoy if you wish.

The Hospitality programme

This is an opportunity to visit a British home for a meal and to spend an afternoon / evening there. The programme is run in conjunction with local churches. Email Sabine to find out how you can join the programme.

Trips

Sabine helps with some of the trips organised by the International Society. These take place each weekend during term time, as well as occasionally during the vacations. Travel is by coach to different areas of the country e.g. North Wales, York, Chester, Stratford upon Avon, the Lake District, etc. For more information, visit the International Society's website.

Visits to the countryside

Smaller trips are organised to attractive locations within an hours drive of the Manchester area e.g. Formby, the Peak District, North Wales, etc. Travel on these trips is usually by minibus. Such trips give the chance to make friends and speak English while walking through some of the English countryside. Contact Sabine for details.

Vacation programmes

Sabine publicises events for internationals that are taking place during the vacations. She prints a leaflet just before the end of each term, highlighting the events being organised during the coming vacation.

Small groups to find out about Christianity

If you are interested in finding out more about Jesus Christ and the Bible, Sabine is often involved in running such groups or will know of where such groups are meeting.

If you are a Christian and would like to meet with other Christians, Sabine will be able to help you find such a group. Go to the section on Churches, CUs and Bible study.
