On 4th December 2023, Manchester City Council invited cultural organisations from across Manchester to gather at Factory International for the fourth annual Manchester Cultural Awards. For these awards, nominees must be involved in one or more of the following areas: heritage, visual art, music, theatre, performance, dance, film and broadcast media, literature, digital art, photography or craft. Nominees must be based in the city of Manchester or have a track record of delivering activity for the benefit of the people that live in or visit the city, or that benefits the local economy.

We’re really honoured to have won Best Business Partnership at the ceremony, and to have Bruntwood and Royal Exchange employees recognised for their combined efforts, through the Bruntwood Prize, to support the development of playwrights in Manchester. Congratulations to all nominees and winners for the incredible contributions they make to the cultural vibrancy of this great city.
