Chapman Taylor is delighted to host the upcoming Workshop: A fun design charrette – Manchester Pavilion for Wellbeing, on Tuesday 14 October 2025, 5:00 – 8:00pm, at our Manchester studio in the Bass Warehouse, Castlefield.

This interactive session will invite participants to respond to an engaging design brief: creating an outdoor pavilion in the heart of Manchester that celebrates the importance of wellbeing and water in the built environment.

Working in small teams, participants will explore ideas through sketching, discussion, and hands-on creativity, with a focus on quick-fire design thinking and collaborative problem-solving. The workshop aims to inspire new ways of shaping spaces that meet the needs of both people and place.
