Manchester International Festival

At Bruntwood we try to use our sponsorship to make new and distinctive things happen. Our sponsorship of Manchester International Festival does just that.    

MIF is the world’s first festival of original new work and was set up to celebrate Manchester’s role as an instigator and innovator in the cultural life of the country. Featuring works from across the spectrum of performing arts, music, visual arts and popular culture, it has quickly established itself on the international arts calendar and is a major addition to the richness and vibrancy of the city. 

Bruntwood was one of the first companies to sign up as sponsors to the inaugural MIF in 2007, recognising its potential to bring both short-term impacts to the city’s visitor economy and longer-term benefits to its international profile. 

We always look to engage our staff, customers and suppliers in the Festival, by providing them with opportunities to attend events and previews and giving us the opportunity to develop our relationships with them in a more relaxed environment.

  • Making a difference
From the very outset, Bruntwood have been influential in the conception and direction of the festival. Their involvement gave others the confidence to get involved.
