ABOUT
Haphazard is our frequent foray into ‘all ages’ Live Art, with intriguing images and offbeat oddities dotted around and about Hulme’s historic Z-arts building.
This eighth edition will present eight works — Haphazard has previously seen ping pong balls & squeaky toys; a singing fish & a sax-playing bear; paintball golf & human quoits; a giant periscope, a lonely wookie, a golden toilet, clown-dancing, and a tiny bee-shaped world…
Back for the ninth time by popular demand (whoo!) , Mme Zucchini will once again bring her own unique brand of Vegetable entertainment to this lovely event with a very regal atmosphere
You will find her gazebo in the food stall area near the church - come and make a vegetable creature with her or watch a show. And who knows, you may even see her on walkabout in one of her wonderful veg costumes.
Usually a scorcher, so bring your sunhat!
