We're a new, and pretty small, design and animation studio and wanted to do something fun for Christmas, but as there's only a few of us it was looking a bit lame. We got chatting with a freelance designer friend Sneaky Raccoon aka Anna Mullin and agreed it would be ace if there was a collective xmas work do we could all go to, so we arranged it together.
Plan Bee is a Christmas work do for lone designers, freelancers and small studios that don't get a work do, but still want to celebrate with like-minded and lovely folks from all over Manchester. All busy worker bees are invited, designers, illustrators, animators, whatever you do, it's open to anyone who's not got a xmas party with work to go to and wants to get involved.
There'll be some free food and drinks and some good music, and hopefully a lot of christmas cheer! It's at a really cool venue, that happens to be right next door to us, Texture, which is a great place that specialises in putting on superb audio-visual nights.
Here's some more info and tickets -

It's looking like it's going to get a decent crowd made up if some of Manchester's best design talent, and if it it goes well we'll make it an annual thing.
We've also asked everyone to get involved by sending us some Christmassy art / design work they've done, or even some xmas family photos / clips from festive fave films and we're going to playing them on the night on Textures big screens, so if you're coming along send us something over and we'll get up on the Christmas Crackers screen!

8 年Thanks Helena! That's a shame you won't be able to make it. I think you're right though, there's so many freelancers or small studios that don't get much of a work do, so why not all get together and have a big collective one?! We've had a great response so far so hopefully it will go well and we can make it an annual thing!
