Adam Reid Chef Patron at the French said “I'm really looking forward to The French being part of The Moveable Feast. Hopefully we can pull off doing something a bit different for what is an amazing cause.”
Mary-Ellen McTague exec chef at Manchester Art Gallery Café said: “This is a rare opportunity to dine in the Gallery after hours. Our guests will have a wonderful evening in this very special setting. Last year I went to Ethiopia with Action Against Hunger. The work they do to end child hunger is very important to me and I am looking forward to helping raise money through Moveable Feast.”

Every course and experience within each venue has been carefully thought about to give diners an experience unlike they will have ever received, prepare for some surprises along the way.”
