Events this month in Bury

With a passing resemblance to our relatives - this exhibition asks if the family is the heart of the community the source of all emotional life; or is it the place where generations are taught how to think, how to work? Continuing the museum practice of putting history alongside the present, the exhibition stretches from the earliest registered births in Bury to the objects of modern family, from a contemporary art response to Darwin to treasured family portraits.

The Home Front exhibition returns to explore civil defence and is part of our schools partnership with the East Lancs Railway. In WWII, soldiers and civilians struggled daily to manage the situation forced upon them by enemy action.

This exhibition includes the work of three celebrated international artists - Alan Charlton, Ulrich Ruckriem and Ragna Robertsdottir - who work with pure forms, very limited palettes and creative systems.

Bury's Arts Services and The Met invite you 'behind the scenes' of the new playwriting workshops taking place at the theatre. Extracts, photographs and blogs reveal how Bury's budding writers worked together to create scripts during this 12 week workshop programme. View their final scripts 'in the making' and how you could get involved in getting your 'voice' heard on The Met's stage in the future.
