The sound of jazz is about to fill the air in the Corn Exchange as Manchester Jazz Festival’s Piano Trail returns! This spring, pianos will be popping up across the city, inviting everyone to take a seat, play a tune, and soak up the vibrant atmosphere of this musical celebration.

As part of the festival, we’re hosting one of the trail’s stunning pianos right here at Corn Exchange. Whether you’re a seasoned pianist or just love to tinkle the ivories, this is your chance to get involved in the fun.
